Your life is not a story.

Adrian talked about how our lives are not stories, this set me back. I’d always considered my life as a story, never giving it much thought…

“Change your story, change your life.”… “In the end our lives are just stories, make sure yours is worth reading.”… “The tale of someone’s life begins before they are born.”

but as Adrian pointed out, nothing in a story is accidental, everything is cause and effect.. unlike life. Things happen accidentally, and sometimes for no reason. As a dreamer i’ve always wanted my life to be like a book, or movie, perhaps i’d rather if someone else was in control of my life, less responsibility that way. The truth is though, i’m in control and unfortunately I can’t write down what i want to happen and watch as it unfolds.
Reason controls nothing.
