Pick The Best Story
When faced with a tough decision, we often become paralyzed. You ask "what do I do?" over and over again. Want to know what you should do? Pick the best story. Pick the one that gives you better stories to tell to your kids and grandkids. It's a framework for decision-making that I've seen in practice. It helps alleviate the stress and anxiety. It's a tool to have in your toolbox.
Great, interesting, positive stories can indicate a live well-lived. It means you shaped your reality, made tough decisions, and lived a life full of purpose. If you have no stories, that's living with mediocrity. Don't settle for predictable endings. The best part: you're the author. You get to write your own story. Make it a great one.
Everything you do is a part of your personal narrative. Every crossroads writes a chapter of your book. But currently? You're letting yourself take the boring, predictable road. You're letting others dictate your story. It's time to take the pen back and be the protagonist in your life like you're meant to be. Don't let indecision stop you from living.
The answer is in the story. Which choice makes for a more compelling narrative? Which would you be prouder to tell your grandkids about? That's your choice. It's that simple. Decisions aren't isolated events, they all interweave a part of something larger. The approach is so powerful, because it cuts through the noise. The right choice will become crystal clear.
It ensures you will look back at the end of your life full of satisfaction, pride, and amazement of the incredible journey you had. Your life is blank page waiting to be filled. Don't settle for a forgettable anecdote when you could be writing a bestseller. Pick the best story. Your future self will thank you.
