How can we apply 'don't let others write your story' in our daily life?

One way is to actively seek out success stories. Read about successful people in different fields. When you come across a story, don't delay in thinking about how it can inspire you. And don't deny the positive aspects just because you might be envious. For instance, in the fitness world, there are many success stories of people transforming their bodies. Use these stories as motivation rather than denying their possibility.

First, we need to understand that quotes are like mini - life coaches. They are not like stories which we may forget easily. We can write down our favorite quotes and place them where we can see them often, like on our desks or in our wallets. When we are in a difficult situation, for instance, facing a job loss, a quote about new beginnings can give us hope. Also, we can discuss these quotes in groups, analyzing their deeper meanings and how they can be applied in different aspects of life. This is different from discussing stories as quotes are more focused on key life concepts.

By being open - minded. When we meet new people, don't make assumptions right away. Listen to what they have to say.

By not giving up easily. For instance, if you face rejection in a relationship, remember it's not the end of your story. You can work on yourself, become a better person, and find someone more suitable in the future.

We should be more patient. Since life isn't a short story, we can't expect instant results. For example, if we're working towards a fitness goal, we know it won't be achieved overnight just like a short - term plot in a story. Instead, we keep at it day by day.

One way to apply 'novel and novel' is in our relationships. Instead of doing the same old things with friends or family, we can come up with novel activities. And then, when we do those activities, we can introduce novel elements into them. For instance, if we usually have a picnic, we can make it novel by having it at a very unusual location and then add novel food items that we haven't tried before.

This phrase implies that your life is your own unique journey. Others may try to impose their ideas or expectations on you, but you need to resist that. For example, your parents might want you to be a doctor, but if your passion is art, you should follow your heart. It's about being the author of your own destiny and not allowing external forces to shape your story in a way that doesn't resonate with you.

One way is to keep our long - term goals in mind. For example, if you're studying for a degree and you fail an exam (a delay), don't think it means you won't graduate successfully. Instead, use it as a chance to learn and improve. Also, when starting a new hobby like painting, if your first few attempts aren't great (a delay in achieving 'mastery'), don't give up. Keep at it because these delays don't stop you from having a success story in that hobby later on. Another aspect is in relationships. If there are misunderstandings (delays in having a smooth relationship), work through them instead of thinking the relationship is doomed. In general, view delays as opportunities to grow and move closer to success.

One way is to be more aware of the choices we make. In a game, our choices determine the outcome. Similarly, in life, the choices we make contribute to our life story. So, make choices that will add positive chapters to your story. Also, don't be afraid of 'losing' in small things because in a game, we often learn from our losses and come back stronger. For instance, if you don't get a promotion you wanted, see it as a chance to improve and aim for a better outcome next time, just like you would in a game if you failed a level.

To apply the moral, we should focus on our inner qualities. Instead of being overly concerned with our looks or material possessions, we can develop good character traits like honesty and compassion. Just as Cinderella's inner beauty was what ultimately mattered, we should strive to be good people from the inside out.
