What Story Will You Tell?

Here’s the final question I asked my students at our retreat this weekend.

What story will you tell about your time in the group this year?

I think that story is incredibly powerful – whether the story told on a National Park tour, or the bedtime stories we tell.

In this case, my students have the opportunity to choose the story they tell about their experience, just as we all do. I think the stories we tell shape how we feel about an experience just as much our feelings shape the stories we tell.

Choose the story you tell carefully, and you can shape the life you live.
