Modeling, Slowing Down, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves

What story are you telling yourself?

• "Bad stuff is because of me; good stuff is because of everyone else"
• Are you the victim the hero?

Your suffering isn't caused by what happens; it's caused by how you interpret what happens, and how you feel about that interpretation.
