That suit routine, I\u2019m ashamed to say lasted around 9 months or so until one day, I took out a piece of paper and wrote down my goals.

I can\u2019t find any research on how likely you make this happen with a story but for me, it has been 100%.<\/p>\n<p>There are many other stories that entered my life that I didn\u2019t see coming. Some sad, some motivating and some entirely unexpected. I have tried my best to welcome them all. Weaving them all into a tapestry that I can look back on and say, \u201cThat was quite a journey!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What I do know is that at any point along this journey, you can tell yourself a new story. Keep believing in that story, put one foot in front of the other, even on the days you feel you can\u2019t and watch it unfold.<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with possibility.<\/p>\n<p>#storytelling #powerofstorytelling #Newbeginnings<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 I was jobless, putting on a suit and pretending to go to work every day.
