You canโt change the tale so that you turned left one day instead of right, or didnโt make the mistake that might have saved your life a day later. We donโt get those choices. The story is what got you here, and embracing its truth is what makes the outcome bearable.
Gail CaldwellWhat do you do when the story changes in midlife? When a tale you have told yourself turns out to be a little untrue, just enough to throw the world off-kilter? Itโs like leaving the train at the wrong stop: You are still you, but in a new place, there by accident or grace, and you will need your wits about you to proceed.
