The people we imagine ourselves to be are really just narratives, stories. The stories we tell ourselves and each other define who we are. So tell a good story!
Narrative imagining—story—is the fundamental instrument of thought. Rational capacities depend on it. It is our chief means of looking into the future, of predicting, of planning, and of explaining.... Most of our experience, our knowledge and our thinking is organized in stories. — The Literary Mind by Mark Turner |
