Don't spend your life believing a story about yourself that you didn't write that's been fed to you - that simply you've accepted, embedded and added to. Let the story go and there beneath is the real you...and your unique gifts, heart and path that await you.

About This Quote

The purpose of life is to be alive and to be true to ourselves. We all have a story written about us and we believe it without question. Sometimes we make up these stories ourselves and sometimes we are influenced greatly by others. In spite of this, most of us have a hard time letting go of the stories that others have told us about ourselves.

Our stories are the most important part of our lives because they are who we believe ourselves to be. When we let go of these stories, that's when the real person emerges from underneath.
