AUTHENTIC AUTHORSHIP

"When writing the story of your life, Don't let anyone else hold the pen."   - Rebel Thriver

“Authentic authorship” is the practice of owning the choices we make in terms of how we write the story of our experience. It is whether we accept responsibility for our thoughts and feelings. Being authentic is whether we write our own story or let others, society or family or friends write it for us. 

Understanding and practicing "authentic authorship" will dramatically change the way you think and act and the choices that are available to you. You are both your story and the author. Your story becomes the “script” of the life that you will live. Perception and interpretation are the foundation of reality. 

Old Dog says,

“It is easier to let your story match your life than trying to match your life to your story.”

If we forget that we are the author then we forget that we are the actor  We are then at risk. We risk losing, the present moment and risk believing our own fiction without benefit of rewriting or editing. 

For each of us there is no reality beyond our Story and the stories of others.

Again, you in a sense are both your story and the author. With or without mindfulness this becomes a self fulfilling prophesy

You are the future you dream of.
