What is your personal narrative? What do you tell yourself about yourself? The way you tell your story to yourself makes all the difference.
Most people have a personal narrative that's more protective than productive. Let me ask, what percentage of us BELIEVE we are self-aware? What percentage ARE self-aware? The answers will astound you. Self-awareness is a vital part of personal growth and success, whether you're on the field or navigating life's challenges. The first step is to embrace brutal honesty with yourself. It starts with recognizing that gap between perception and reality.
Let’s dig deep into your identity and confront your personal narrative—those stories you tell yourself about who you are and why you do what you do. Many of us hold onto stories that protect us rather than push us forward. These narratives often shield us from discomfort, accountability, or facing difficult truths. Ask yourself: is my narrative based on reality? Let’s strip away everything but the truth about you. And, then let’s begin this process by accepting and loving who you are today. And, please accept that you already have all you need to be the best version of yourself.
