A story

I have a story. You have a story. We all have a story. At some point, we tell our stories to others. Without being conscious of it, we are each telling our stories to ourselves all the time.

What is my story?
Why do I tell my story to myself?
Does my story serve a purpose?
Does my story work for me anymore?

When we are storytelling, we are creating our lives, and reinforcing our memories. We are also coloring our present and future experiences. This is often a good and useful thing to do. But what about when we have, perhaps, outgrown our story? How do we know when it is time to shed our old story, and "write" a new one?
