Are you an untold story ?

If each of us are the main character in the story of our lives, what would your story be ? Every choice, decision and thought created the next chapter in your story. If we thought about our lives in that manner would we try to create something truly worth watching? If your life up to now was written and produced into a book or movie would it inspire you to buy it ?

I am betting no matter how incredible or shocking you feel your life has been up until this moment, few of us would say that our life story is captivating, infact for some of us it almost feels as though we are not the main character. We are the enablers. We enable others to fulfil their dreams. We enable others to create their dream lives while we stand on the side lines, imagining what it might be like to stand in the spotlight.

We are permitting ourselves to become the untold story. We are those people who toe the line, abide by all the rules but yet feel unfulfilled. We look back on days, months and years and think " what if..." " what if I had made a different decision?", "what if I had taken a different path?", " what if I had said no more frequently?"

For me the biggest question of myself today has to be, what if from today I view my life through a different lense?, what if I keep in mind that I am not invisible, what if the spotlight is mine and what I choose can make better decisions about my life? What if choices are mine and not an agreement with everyone else? What if I say no more frequently and what if I actually take the time to stop and think about what life actually means to me without the input of others ? Not only stepping into the spotlight but actually writing the script of where I want this incredible journey to take me. What if we began to change our mindset from life happens to me , to life happens for me, thank you Tony Robbins.

It seems too often a fact that the story may be ours yet we very seldom are the subject of the story. In this day in age when equality and diversity is front and centre in our minds we can hardly hold a conversation for fear of upsetting or offending someone, yet still we permit ourselves to be pushed into the background, to fade into the background and to be silenced.

The pain of being ignored is no less than the pain of being alone, both situations leave us feeling isolated. Our voices silenced by those we care for most. Our opinions disregarded and treated as thought they are insignificant.

We must learn the lessons of self love, self love enables us to retrain ourselves, to put the old beliefs back and step forward with passion. Step away form the comfort zone of acceptance and spring into the spotlight of change, begin making the tiny changes that create the first chapter of the new story of your life.

We get to create the story of our lives. We are the creator. We get to write the new script, choose our own characters and plan the epic story that we all deserve to be a part of. The story that lights up our passion that fills our hearts and makes us proud of our unique character. The one that no one can replicate, be proud of who you are and how incredible your story is.

You are not an untold story, you are an epic adventure.
