HISTORY

REWRITTEN

Your personal history tends to provide an expectation for your future and a boundary to the range into which your future might expand.

In some cases, depending on what you have encountered, survived and grown through, this can be useful and encouraging, even motivational. In other cases your history may perhaps be more restrictive than helpful. I have observed that histories can constrain creative ambition and haul us back from what we may deem to be reckless or truly ‘not meant for us’.

Each time you think about or retell your history it is likely to, at best, be a balance between the good and the bad, the triumphant and the woeful, and sometimes, depending on your prevailing attitude, you may dwell on the glum.

a) How do you retell your personal history? What stories have come to define you? What aspects of your history play out today, every day?

b) Separate out the chapters that feel good and motivational from those that don’t – respectfully store the latter and decide now not to refer to them or allow them be right at the surface of your story.

c) Re-write the bad ones in inspiring ways, in terms of how they were actually positive, how they have helped you become who you are today, and how they helped and served you.

Rewrite your personal history and know that your early passes at thinking or telling this upgraded story will feel a little difficult, until they don’t!
