Who Do You Think You Are? Rewriting the Question
from Encouragementology · host Kendell Boysen
SHOW NOTES: What if the stories you've been telling yourself aren't the only stories available? In this episode of Encouragementology, we explore the power of perspective and how the meaning we assign to our experiences can shape our confidence, choices, and future. Through personal reflection, thought-provoking examples, and the wisdom found in both childhood wonder and adult experience, we'll examine how rewriting the question can help us discover new possibilities. Sometimes the circumstances don't change, but the way we see them changes everything. Here is what we unpack together: Why two people can experience the same situation and walk away with completely different stories How the question "Who do you think you are?" can become either a limitation or an invitation The difference between an event and the meaning we assign to it How our brains naturally seek evidence to support what we already believe Why "What you seek, you will find" is more than a motivational phrase Lessons from A Field of Wishes and the childlike ability to find wonder in ordinary moments How asking "What else could be true?" creates space for growth and possibility Why perspective is not about ignoring reality but expanding it The power of holding multiple truths at the same time without choosing one over the other How rewriting your interpretation can help rewrite your future CHALLENGE: Notice one story you’ve been telling yourself and ask, “Is this the only way to see it?” Before accepting your first interpretation as the truth, pause long enough to consider what else might be possible. Rewrite the question, and you may just discover a new answer waiting for you. I Know YOU Can Do It! 🎶 Music that Moves the Message All original music featured in this episode—including the Encouragementology intro, outro, and interludes—was written and performed by Matt Martino.
