Something remarkable about creating and living a life is that it happens whether we’re intentional or indifferent, active or passive.

We are writing our story, always.

Even when we’re not writing.

An occasional zooming out can be useful. It helps us to see where we’ve been, where we are, the marks we’ve made, and the incidental patterns that have emerged.

Even so — even with all the layers that exist — we always have a choice. We can continue to craft much of the same story … or in the blink of an eye we can introduce a brilliant plot twist. It’s up to us.

Either way, the story will continue.
