Better Stories. Better You.

“Your problem is not the outside world, your problem is the story you’re telling yourself about the outside world. And that story is a choice. If you’re not happy with the story, tell yourself another story. Period. That simple.” -Seth Godin

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.” -Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“It turns out that positive thinking doesn’t help you do everything, but it helps you do anything better than negative thinking.” -Seth Godin

Speaking of telling better stories, Billy Oppenheimer’s recent “Six At Six” newsletter (always excellent and I highly recommend) is full of stories about people who transformed their lives simply by telling themselves better stories about their lives. You can read it here.

First, think better.
