How does the story and the work of the self start? What can this look like?

The story of self starts at conception. As soon as one enters the world, their story begins. Perhaps it is a left-over story, perhaps not; regardless, the moment ones eye blinks open from the dark vortex called womb, we begin our story. 


At the beginning, we live our story without much personal choice. Our parents are our guardians and decision makers. Hopefully their choices are made out of love and for the greater good of their child's story. The ideal is that our story begins with a sense of safety and love. There then comes a point when the mind is able to understand what the human outside of it needs. That is when one can begin to pave their own story. Unexpected twists and turns may arise at this point. Personal, random or thought-out decisions can lead you to completely unknown places. Almost always one must face emotional baggage within their story. 


These chapters of one's story can be challenging but also rewarding. Our stories are full of ebbs and flows. At some point your story may lead you to the birth of a child-where a whole new story begins to be written. My hope is that within the demanding work and conscious choices of our personal stories, our children's stories will be composed with more ease.
