I'm convinced that aside from whatever agreement we might have made regarding the role we were willing to play upon coming here, upon entering this world, our fate and results are more dependent on the story we choose to tell. We argue about the difference between terms, between concepts and meaning, but the fact is, while our roles may be pre-established, our results are not predetermined. Our accomplishments, our usefulness, and our successes are determined by the story we tell---both to others and especially to ourselves.

I implore you then. Tell a joyous and really grand story!
