So if indeed I've planned this thing and it rains that day, well, I can spend all afternoon going shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, you know, and being mad at the weatherman who owed me a sunny afternoon or just go, OK, and what can we do with this?
You know, there's this phrase making the best of a bad situation.

Well, there's the old line that life is a story we tell ourselves, and the psychologist will remind us now that's true.
Your internal narrative really matters.
And so story crafting is about picking carefully the story that you are telling yourself and living into because it has a profound effect, both on the life you live and the quality of your experience of it.
Of course, that story has to be true.
It can't be a fantasy story.
We're not fans of magical thinking, but we are big fans of picking the story that's truest and most generative to give you the best possible chance of becoming fully alive.
