Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there was a man who loved to get up early every morning, run a mile and then come back and write his blog.

One morning on a chilly morning just before the sun came up, he was running and he thought how important stories are to life.

People were always telling stories about what someone said or did that they approved or disapproved of, stories of what happened to them the other day, who they had bumped into that day.

He remembered that also hearing certain songs or smelling certain smells immediately took him to stories of his past.

He thought, "Why even athletes who used visualisations, to imagine themselves succeeding before they actually got there, were creating stories of a future they were trying to create."

Then he looked around while he was running and thought I wonder what story today will hold for me?

He also realised that the choices he made that day about whether to be worried, excited, annoyed, thankful, stuck in his thoughts or curious about the world and the people around him could change the story of his day.

Then he wondered...

what story will you, yes you, create today?
