Moments of Meditation: Tell A Story To Reduce Your Worry
As a follow-up to last time, stories add new life to us. They allow us to live from another perspective. It gives us a chance to change our own view through the eyes of others.
When you’ve listened enough, try to share your gratitude. And this may also give you the opportunity to share your experiences.
Sometimes, people just want to listen to your tale. This allows us a way to introduce yourself in new ways, a reinvention of your intentions. It may be flawed, it may be ambitious, it may be memorable, but it’s yours to tell. A figment of who you see yourself as, but more importantly, a way for us to see how we’re received.
It’s a form of charity when we have nothing else to give. Ultimately, everything is a story, especially our lives and the history before us. We’re a part of it, so we have a chance to depict ourselves how we want to be seen, while enforcing ourselves by leaving a mark on their hearts.
It’s when we’re able to share our secrets that we can feel that they’re truly well-kept. As a secret alone is subject to bias and doubt, one known by everyone is a conspiracy, but one shared with a few is one to laugh about. It’s really when you’re in the know that you’re able to connect with others on personal terms.
It’s a way for us to lower our worries by voicing our stories — one that trouble our mind and bind us to miseries, but that’s exactly why they should be expressed as mysteries.
