“The End of Your Story”

This is it! YES, this is it! This is your life.

There’s an old TV program of the same name that was very popular, airing from 1952 to 1988. Some of us may remember it. It was always a “surprise” for the celebrity guest, and reminisced the highs and lows and success of that person’s life. It told their “story”.

We build our own life’s story over a lifetime and continue building it day by day, event by event. What’s your story? How do you view your life? What do you remember? Happy? Sad? Good? Bad? Mediocre? Boring? Crazy? Fun? The stories we hold and believe shape how we feel in any given moment, regardless of what’s actually happening.

Do you carry it as a burden or a joy? Life isn’t always just black or white or Barbie pink. It might be a source of motivation or determination. Is it remembering and reviewing all the hurts, traumas and pain that brought you to this present moment? Or was it a beautiful happy time with all the blessings one could wish for? There aren’t many “Barbie lives” in real life.

A story has many purposes. Sometimes a story isn’t just an attempt to describe reality; its purpose is to obscure the truth, to deceive, and to conceal what really is. Good or bad or somewhere in between, it’s still a story of the past.

Do you wish it were different? What if… what if you could view the psychological thriller of your life as an exhilarating adventure instead of a burden?

Each moment ( of ours ) is a precious gem, but instead of marveling at its beauty, we often see it as a stone to be hurriedly tossed aside in our rush toward the next “better” moment.

But, What if we could end the burdensome story we tell ourselves, or the wished for future fantasy? Why would we release and end that story?

The “End of Your Story” is about releasing the effort of maintaining the burden or the fantasy. It’s the end of seeking, healing, expanding, ascending, self-esteem-boosting, transforming, and fixing!

The end of your story is like taking a deep breath and releasing the grip of your story, allowing yourself to see the world as it truly is, a vast and wondrous landscape filled with endless opportunities.

Yes. This is it!

It is the recognition that there is a great power that shapes your destiny beyond your personal control.

This is it! Life…. It’s about savoring each step, embracing the unpredictable melodies of the dance, and reveling in the delightful surprises that come our way.

This is it! *** Trust that everything, everything is unfolding with flawless precision, tailored just and only for You.

The End of Your Story is about releasing effort. .. the effort you make to be your story! Surrender! Let it go! Let life lead!

“No one can tell what the future holds (this is it),
You’re going no further (this is it),
You make the choice of how..it goes…
This is it!”

Namaste, Chas
