The Stories We Tell
by Jaime Messina
I’m on a mission—a mission to speak with the most inspiring people from all over the world. I want to know their stories. I want to know…what stories they used to tell. Are they the same ones they tell today? Or did they redefine that story to overcome limiting beliefs, and achieve. I want to help them share their stories. Why? Because I KNOW the power of the story. I know that it can make or break you. It can give you the world, or it can tear you apart. You see, there’s always two sides going on down in your head. And you get to choose. Will I listen to the one that is trying to stop me?
