Owning the Story: My Journey with a Learning Disability and ADHD
Owning the Story
Here’s the deal: when we own our story, we write the ending.
When we’re self-aware, open and accepting of ourselves, our own true, unique self, when we hold ourselves kindly and compassionately, and when we move towards a growth mindset, we gain power. We can do more of what matters.
Owning the story is acknowledging the truth of the experiences. It’s taking authorship instead of playing the victim. It’s letting go of shame through self-compassion. It’s living aligned with your values and strengths.
It ain’t been easy. But the more I come to ‘owning the story’ the more control I have of this story, and likely you will too.
