I tell stories about myself and my world
Unless I question the stories (thoughts), I would believe them
And when I believe my stories, I am imprisoned by them
But when I question my stories, I am as free as a bird
Below are some famous quotations about the stories we tell ourselves.
"We are disturbed not by events but the views which we take of them"
-Epictetus
"There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so"
- Shakespeare
"it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"
-Shakespeare
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players"
-Shakespeare
