SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

So a contamination narrative is a narrative where you think, okay, everything was going right and then it all went to ruin, right?

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

Redemption is everything was going right, something bad happened and I learned from it and this is what I learned from it and I grew from it.

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

For a long time, I think my narrative was

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

you know, these things are, everything's going well and whatever, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

And whenever anything bad would happen, I could fall back on that narrative and say, well, see, what I think I've successfully done most of the time, at least anyway, is turn that into more of a redemptive narrative where I say, no, actually, yeah, that sucked.

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

That's a redemptive arc that I've narrative that I've reconstructed over.

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

It took again, probably a years, if not decade or more to, to really finish that narrative or to solidify it.

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

And who knows that narrative will probably fail me at someday too.

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved

Right.

SOLVED with Mark Manson

SOLVED with Mark Manson
How to Change Your Life, Solved
