What stories am I telling myself?

This is a post I did for Seth Godin’s TMS workshop and I though would be fun for others too!  Enjoy!

Mindfulness in marketing

What is the story you are telling yourself?
The story I am telling myself is I am done with the old story. It’s all sunk costs. The old story is all sunk costs. Now I am beginning anew, with new stories, new journeys. Some of my new stories I got from practicing “discarding my old inner speeches” from our spiritual ancestors, and some from altMBA and some from TMS. But it basically says, hey, (as Seth Godin says), “I don’t have to accept the gift from the old me to the new me, if it’s not going to be helpful”. Just do what is necessary, do what is relevant to serving others in the next 24 hours, and the next 24 hours and hell with the resistance!

Is it helping you?
It’s helping me to see that my own thoughts are my worst enemies. And realising this, I seek help from people who will help me be accountable to my new stories.

What story could you pay attention to that would be more helpful?
The story that everyone of us could fly closer to the sun. Begin with myself. And if I can help bring others along the journey, fine. We are all in this crazy world together, but we can be a little less crazy, a little more empathetic, a little more kind, a little more mindful……….and lead a small group of people at a time, so they can spread the message of “ruckus making” and be glad we lived to be a little bit more purple…………even if we can’t be a purple cow, at least be a purple mosquito! But purple we insist to be.
