How's Your Narrative?

How's Your Narrative?

If there is NO escaping [even if you are a Houdini clone] in life, it is the fact that we will have our own respective NARRATIVES [because that's a given].  How's Your Narrative?  WHAT's regrettable though is that many of us still think that, that NARRATIVE is the least of our concerns because it will play out by itself.  WHICH is absolutely true BUT WHAT we're missing is that we have that singular influence to craft and shape our NARRATIVE📗📙📘

IF we wasted every opportunity, IF we squandered every resource we had, IF we burned all the bridges in our life, YES you will still have your NARRATIVE but does it take any effort to speculate the kind of stuff in that NARRATIVE?  Should be almost effortless because everything will be spread out across the floor.  The next inquisitive question is:  Can we UNDO and REDO things all over again, if you want to polish off [OR even window-dress] your NARRATIVE?  Likely NOT dude because those opportunities did knock on your door [BUT too bad they WON'T knock for the 2rd or 3rd time at all]💧💧💧

We've witnessed fortunate people born with a silver spoon on their mouth.  Obviously, that gives them a significant head start in life.  And it's guaranteed that their NARRATIVE will start with nothing less than POSITIVITIES given all those circumstances.  BUT WHAT CAN'T be assured at all is that that narrative will play out similarly as its Chapter I did play out.  WHY?  Because each subsequent phase CAN'T be replicated💥💥💥

BUT WHY is it many do get caught up with this punishing conundrum?  Simple explanation is that very hardly the value of our very own NARRATIVE was given impetus at all.  Many will retort, like:  IT IS WHAT IT IS.  True BUT if I may challenge such retort, we would be squandering that chance to influence and shape our NARRATIVE even an effort that is as minor as it can be.  As studies did prove over time, the divide between SUCCESS and FAILURE would spread [on average] by a few percentage points.  And that's even happening in the U.S. presidential elections through the years [even as we speak now]❌❌❌

Our takeaway:  To be poetic about NARRATIVES, the form echoes in structure the thematic search in the NARRATIVE for something deep, profound at the very core of the NARRATIVE.  Window-dress?  YES you can but that square peg on a round hole will still surface because it just CAN'T be neatly mapped with the flow of your NARRATIVE.  HOW many times I heard people that they will GIVE IT ALL at the last mile, at the homestretch, which is laudable enough.  BUT WHAT IF right before the homestretch, you were gasping for air and eating dust from the lead pack?  HOW many HAIL MARYs you need to pray to turnaround your NARRATIVE by then?  You CAN'T pull a Houdini act dude😃😃😃
