Despite what we may think, we are incredible storytellers.
We make up stories to fill in the gaps in the unknown.
To paint a picture that doesn’t yet exist through our biases and beliefs.
We make it compelling and exciting and if we think about it long enough we might even believe it is true.
When the future moment becomes the present, how many times does that story live up to the hype of the moment?
That should tell us something.
Maybe our embellishment of the potential outcome is unhelpful and irrational.
It leads us to worry and stress over things that are irrelevant.
It’s a narrative that might choose not to write in the first place.
