You Are The Story You Tell Yourself

Social media hashtags like #RewriteYourStory and #TransformYourLife have taken off in recent years as more people discover the profound impact that the stories we tell ourselves have on our reality. On a recent episode of LOA Today, life coaches Joel Elston and Walt Thiessen dove deep into exploring this concept through a thought-provoking conversation. “The word of the day is story,” Walt said as they began. “Literally, story is definitely the word of my day.” Joel agreed, emphasizing that “what you give your attention to, the story you tell yourself is your reality.” He shared how focusing on creating the life he wanted through positive self-talk transformed his experience of aging into one of continued growth and fulfillment rather than decline. This revelation struck a chord with Walt, who realized through reflection on a recent relationship experience how much his own perspective had evolved. “Wow, I apparently have developed and grown far beyond even what I realized,” he said in a tone of surprise and gratitude. Both men had come to understand on a deep level the power within us all to author the narratives that shape our experiences. The conversation touched on many profound topics, but one theme recurred: our innate ability to choose which stories we tell. “You hold the pen,” Joel reminded listeners. Whether discussing health, addiction recovery, relationships or finances, Joel and Walt affirmed that focusing on what we want rather than resisting what we don’t want allows us to consciously direct the plotlines of our lives. Their infectious optimism, grounded in personal experience, inspires hope. After years of discussion, Walt admitted, “I still have times where I just can’t quite believe it.” But through open-minded exploration of concepts like scientific “proof” and the malleability of belief systems over time, Joel and Walt model how to thoughtfully challenge old narratives and rewrite more empowering ones. By selecting perspectives aligned with their highest ideals, Joel and Walt discovered joy, abundance and fulfillment many thought impossible. Their conversation invites all to reclaim authorship over their own stories and live fully self-determined lives. The power truly is ours.
