To live considering 'life is not a story', first, we have to let go of the idea that there is a pre - determined path for us. We should be open to new experiences without worrying if they fit into a certain story we had in mind. For instance, we might meet new people from different backgrounds that don't seem to belong in our 'ideal story' but can bring unexpected joys and growth. Also, we need to be prepared for setbacks and not view them as plot twists in a story where there's always a happy ending waiting. Instead, we should see them as part of the complex, real - life journey and find ways to grow from them. We should also value the small, everyday moments that might not be significant in a story but are the essence of real life.
We should be more flexible. Since life is not a story with a set plot, we need to adapt to the unexpected. Don't be too rigid in our plans.
We can start by loving ourselves first. If life is a love story, we are the main characters. Loving ourselves means taking care of our physical and mental health, following our dreams. Then, spread love to others around us. Be kind, be empathetic, and be generous with our love, just like in a beautiful love story.
It might show how the routine of daily life is a part of living in time. For example, waking up, going to work or school at a certain time every day.
By reflecting on our memories. Think about the times that were really exciting, those might be the red or orange moments. The quiet, peaceful times could be the blues. Just look back at different events and how they made you feel, that's how you start to see the colors.
Living our greater story in a mythic life involves being open to new experiences and learning from them. We should surround ourselves with positive influences and constantly strive to improve. It's a journey of self-discovery and growth.
One way is to be more aware of the choices we make. In a game, our choices determine the outcome. Similarly, in life, the choices we make contribute to our life story. So, make choices that will add positive chapters to your story. Also, don't be afraid of 'losing' in small things because in a game, we often learn from our losses and come back stronger. For instance, if you don't get a promotion you wanted, see it as a chance to improve and aim for a better outcome next time, just like you would in a game if you failed a level.
First, we need to be self - aware. Know our strengths and weaknesses. Then, make choices that align with our real selves. For instance, if we love art but everyone around us is into business, we should still pursue art because that's part of our own origin story. Also, don't be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them, as they are also elements of our self - created story.
To achieve a mythic life and live our greater story, we first need to be self - aware. Know our strengths, weaknesses, dreams and fears. Then, we should be brave enough to step out of our comfort zones. For example, if you always wanted to travel but were afraid to go alone, take that first step. It's about embracing new experiences and learning from them.
One way is to be more empathetic. When we show understanding and compassion to others, we are more likely to receive the same. For instance, if a friend is going through a tough time and we offer support, later when we need help, they might be there for us. Also, in our work, if we are honest and put in effort, it can come back as recognition or opportunities. This concept encourages us to be aware of how our actions today can create an 'echo' of positive or negative experiences in the future.
We can start by being more present in the moment. For instance, when we are having a meal, instead of just thinking about the next task, we savor the taste, the company, and the experience. Also, when we face difficulties, we should see them as part of the journey and opportunities for growth rather than obstacles preventing us from reaching a destination.
One way is to be more conscious of the characters in our story. That means the people around us. We can choose to surround ourselves with positive characters who add value to our story, like friends who support and inspire us. Also, we can work on being a positive character in other people's stories too. This helps in creating a more fulfilling life story for everyone involved.
