The Power of Coherent Narratives in Shaping Our Lives

As human beings, we create coherent narratives to make sense of the overwhelming sensory input we receive daily. These narratives, though normal and natural, do not always align with our true values and desires. They help us make quick decisions but can also limit us if they do not serve our aspirations. When these narratives start hindering us from pursuing opportunities or becoming who we want to be, we must question their validity and ensure that they reflect our values and goals. Otherwise, we risk letting these narratives control us instead of us owning and shaping our own stories.
