I read this from Neale Donald Walsch recently

... you are not your 'story.' Who You Are is so much bigger than that. It's okay to give up your past now.
Most of us have a story about how we got to be the way we are, about what it's like to be 'us,' and about why it is so difficult sometimes to get through life. All of this is stuff that has nothing to do with who we are now.
How often do you 'come from' your 'story' when you experience life? Are you ready to let go of that now? What if you could create 'you' the way you want to be, rather than the way you think you are? Wouldn't that be great? Well, you can. All you have to do is let go of your story.

Imagine the freedom of giving up your stories – I dare you to just imagine your life without excuses and limiting beliefs and ‘poor me’ about this or that. Or imagine not carrying around ‘I have to be better, smarter, prettier, thinner’ Imagine not having ‘I have to do this or do that to be loved’ in your backpack. Imagine NOT carrying around “I am not good enough because ….”.
Imagine how far and fast you could travel without all that baggage.
Me? I am imagining – and liking what I imagine. Some bits of my story I’ll keep though. I think I’ll keep my story of ‘Be true to your heart’ and I’ll keep my story of “You are deeply loved” and I’ll think I’ll keep ‘Sometimes its just about giving it a go – the fun is in the doing, let the outcome look after itself”. I’ll also keep “Other people’s opinion of me is none of my business.” These are some of the stories I’ll keep to use at opportune moments.
Now, what can I ditch …?
What stories are you willing to give up in time for the fresh new year that is nigh?
