Keith Craft: The stories we have been told by others...the stories we tell to ourselves…
The stories we have been told by others...the stories we tell to ourselves about others...and the stories we tell others about ourselves and others, are based on one of two things: a human perspective which is 'our-story'or a kingdom perspective which is 'His-Story'.

The thought behind the quote
Facts about Stories
All the stories you tell yourself have one thing in common: Your perspective. Every story you tell someone is a story you have told yourself. All emotional pain that is chronic in our lives, is a result of not what actually happened to us, but the story we have told ourselves about what happened to us.
If you continue in emotional chronic pain because of something that happened in your past, it is because of the story you keep telling yourself about what happened. If you have found yourself stuck emotionally, it is because you have limited yourself based on the stories you have told yourself.

The bottom line is this: You can get unstuck by changing the selfish perspective of your story and include their perspective (because believe me they have one, and most importantly, add God's perspective (because He has an eternal perspective about your life).
Change your story...and you will change your life!
