Part 4 - How You Can be the Author of Your Own Story

If you were the author of your story, what would the next sentence be? If you were the author of your own story, what would the next sentence be? Well, newsflash, you are the author of your own story. And we're telling our stories every day, every moment. We're telling them to ourselves, we're telling them to others. And there's no tool that I know better to help me write my story than morning pages. This is from Julia Cameron's famous book, The Artist's Way, where when you wake up in the morning, write three pages, long hand of just, could be a prayer, could be what's going on, it could be a resentment, it could be what's bothering you, it could just be yada, yada, yada, but just get up and write in the morning.

It's a meditation basically, and through it, we can find the answers for what we're supposed to do next. And it's magical how this can really just free you up. And this is part four of my Aspire to Inspire series. Part one was, what would your hero of your story do next? Part two was following your bliss and part three, I frankly am blanking on right now, but that's okay because I'm certainly not perfect. Let's focus on part four here and doing these morning pages. So just get up and write. And you know, don't feel like if you don't hit three pages, it's the end of the world.

But I just encourage you to try something new here and don't, you don't have to be a writer. You don't have to be creative, you don't have to be an artist. Just start writing and see what answers present themselves. And I think in our modern Western society, it's a great form of meditation because we feel productive. We're getting something done, we're getting something written, we're getting the answers out there. So I want you to do something. Just try it one day. Get up and start writing before you even start thinking, just start writing.

It helps to do it with an actual pen or pencil on paper, I think. But however you get it done, just do it and let me know what happens. Let me know if there's a change, right? This is part four of the Inspire Series. I hope you enjoy it. I hope you're getting benefit out of this. And even if you're not, I am and so yeah, and I guess that's one of the reasons that I enjoy being in service because no matter what, I am getting something out of it, which sounds selfish and maybe is, but if I'm feeling better about myself, I'm going to give other people permission to feel better about themselves.

And if we all keep doing that, the world's going to become a better place. So for me to you, have an awesome rest of the day. Talk to you later. Bye bye.
