Self-Authoring

Robin Dunbar, The Oxford evolutionary psychologist and neuroscientist, discovered that 65% of our conversations is a storytelling. We poorly memorise facts but can remember stories for a lifetime

Most of the time we want to believe that we critically assess all the facts and make sensible conclusions and decisions, but the truth is that we perceive world through the lens of a narrative and a story we tell ourselves and others.

It is by creating narratives that we link events and facts into one cohesive story, structure chaos and interpret our reality, ultimately enabling us to interact with it, make decisions and shape our future. This is a human universal since the dawn of a mankind.

We are the stories we tell us about us, us and others, us and the world

These narratives are our life scenarios that directly influence our belief system which becomes our navigational map shaping our life experience

However, the key questions here:

Do all stories work for us now?

Will they serve us and take us further?

“People are best at interpreting information in such a way their past conclusions remain intact”

Warren Buffet

Sometimes our ability to create new stories falls prey to old ways and opinions

That’s why the change can be so hard

Though, in the modern times of 3D change, it is the ability to adapt to a new reality and still write own story that is vital

In the era of exponential change, linear thinking models won’t work anymore

The only thing that can counter it is a human creativity - the ability to create new meanings, connections and therefore, opportunities

This is what TRANSFORMATIONAL STORY is about

Personal inner transformation

All stories that ever-captivated humankind are stories of transformation. Those, where the hero/ heroine not merely overcome external challenges and ordeals but went through internal change, discovered new power within themselves, met and understood their authentic self that took them to a new level.

It’s been true for centuries and it’s true now.

And yes, there were other boons they achieved, like golden fleece, glory and power but the value of internal growth and gift of authentic power trumps all external gifts. These are the gifts of meaning, purpose, joy of meeting authentic self, closing the gap to best self and leaving a lasting legacy.

Social media giants like Metaverse and LinkedIn report that stories in which people talk about their personal inner transformation and growth gauge highest reactions.

Why transformational stories electrify our attention? What are we seeking in them?

These stories hold a mirror to us

Through them we seek to truly see and understand ourselves, gain new perspective on situations we are in, access dormant inner resources to uncover new possibilities, learn new tools and methods to transcend ourselves to a new level. They form a kind of training ground by fully engaging our mind and emotions.

But one thing is to keep scrolling through “feel good” posts in social media, getting inspired by other people growing their inner self, and completely different is closing your own gap to the best and highest self.

Scientists who study happiness reveal we have “habitual” level of happiness.

Our narratives and beliefs keep us at the “habitual level of happiness”. It’s like an old software that doesn’t perform unless we install a different one.

Personal transformation

Personal transformational stories are powerful as they speak directly to our subconsciousness

Aultimately every one of us is choosing:

– whether it’s worth an effort to write own transformational story

– whether it’s worth an effort to embark on a journey of personal growth to consciously and purposefully close the gap to our best story

We can either choose to be like a leaf carried by the river of life or to become attentive and deliberate in our self-mastery

Why not to do it with fun and support, meeting like-minded people, building your own community and sharing your own story?
