Stop, pause, and ask, what story am I telling myself?
Whatever the story is, you are choosing what to tell yourself.
So we can change that story at any point.
The other thing even more important than that is, it is only your mind that is creating this story or stories very often. It isn’t the real you it is just your mind and its ego.
If you want to live out the fantasies of your mind then at least choose a good one. Better still live in the real life of this moment free from any attachment to your mind and its stories.
