Sometimes we hold onto a desire to change for so long it becomes part of our identity. This is revealed in the stories we tell others, which usually begin like a fairytale:
“One day I’ll travel the world….”
“Tomorrow I’ll start the diet….”
“Someday I’ll finish learning Latin….”
If you’ve found yourself telling this type of story frequently, give yourself the time and space to understand why. What’s the real reason you haven’t taken action in this area?
It’s perfectly ok if you enjoy telling the story and like the thought of it more than the pursuit. But if you want to link the story to action, first understand if this is what you really want.
