WHO IS CHAUFFEURING YOUR LIFE?
Our lives are driven by stories. We travel the road yielding to them as they climb into the back seat. We turn left, we turn right and choose the forks in the road that we hope will lead us to our happily ever after. With every turn we pick them up. A story here. A story there. Some are interesting. Some are scary. Some are fun. Some we want to lock in the trunk and forget. They all merge together to create the book of our life. Occasionally we are jolted to completely stop at a red light and a story forces its way into the front seat with us. Some are powerful and push us out of our driver’s seat and takes over as the chauffeur of our lives. The story becomes the theme that overshadows all the other stories and events that we experience. The story becomes who we are. Every turn we make is because of the story. Every decision is because of the story. For you, this may be a happy chauffeur taking you to just the right places – school, a career, a life partner, children and success. The chauffeur takes you on the drive you hoped for and the life story you dreamt of. Or, the story may be one of grief, desperation, loss, or despair. The story is sad and takes over your life. You no longer have control of the wheel. The story has control and circles you as if you are stuck in a round-a-bout reliving the tragedy over and over. You feel like you can’t put on the brakes or turn a different direction. We all have experienced stories of good and bad; happiness and sadness. It is up to us to melt our stories into a collective balance for our life. Don’t allow an event or tragedy to lock you into park or worse-- navigate you to a dark, dead end street. Decide who you want to chauffeur your life. Take control of your stories. Each one can be told from many perspectives. Concentrate on the great stories and look for ways to see lessons and grace in your challenging ones. Keep your steering wheel balanced and driving happily through your life.
