Running On Empty

Have I run out of stories to tell? I’ve been asking myself this question lately. The logical part of me knows that the answer is obviously no. I have an endless supply of stories and new ones are born daily. However, the emotional side of me and that tiny part of me that swims in whispers of fear says “not only are you out of stories Chris, but you never had good ones to begin with!” Doubting yourself is a pretty natural thing to do. Sometimes a little self doubt can be healthy. I’ve said it before and I will continue to say that self-reflection is essential to evolution and innovation. However, sometimes you just need to go easy on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone tells a bad story sometimes. Take the lessons as they come and then make the most out of the next opportunity that arises.
