To Tell a Good Story:
- Look at the facts, tell the truth, connect to inarguable reality.
- Listen to the wisdom, listen to the difficult, unpleasant feelings, hear the “negative” thoughts and judgments, witness their perspective, attend to what they have to say, to the advice they have to give, to the values they are standing for.
- Tell a good story based on all that. A good story is true to the facts, kind to self other and world, useful in this situation.
- Make a good choice based on all that. A choice that is kind, loving, respectful to self, others, and world; that meets all of their needs as best as U possibly can at this time.
- Do this fractally, iteratively, recursively, repeatedly with all parts of yourself and all others U are connected to.
In brief: Notice The Relevant Facts and Tell a Good, Kind Story That Fits Those Same Facts. Tell an Equally Plausible but Far Kinder, More Useful Story.
Tell good stories. Tell a good story about yourself, others, the world, and the universe ❤️
