What if my life had no story?

When you meet people for the first time, what do you tell them about you? Do you have a set patter about who you are, what you do, what your title or business is, what the main challenges of your life are, and who else is in your life?

Do you enjoy these conversations? Are they spontaneous and fun? Or are they boring and predictable? 

Do you find people really listen to them? Or do most people simply wait for a pause in your story to launch their own? How well do you listen to theirs?

How much of telling and retelling your story cements it into place? With each retelling, does it become easier for you to create the changes you'd like, or harder?

If you'd like something different, ask "What if my life had no story?"

What if you woke up every morning like Drew Barrymore in the movie 50 First Dates, with a totally fresh start? Like to play? Then for the next month, whenever you meet someone new, begin by asking them questions until they ask about you. 

Only then tell something you have never said before, even it it's not yet true. Go on, create your story. ​
