What do people talk about? Ever heard a story or two million? How often do you hear the same story told different ways, as if to prove the polar opposite of another? How much of your life do you spend listening to – or even telling – stories, only to become confused about what is real and true? What if none of it were real or true? What if all stories were simply interesting points of view? Would that create less trauma and drama in your life? Would it be easier for you to create the life you'd really like, rather than trying to figure out from the stories what life you should be creating? If you'd like to be free, practice these magic words “I choose not to listen to, tell or buy the story.” Sure you can enjoy a story for the heck of it. At the end, you could say “Wow, that was a terrific story! I'm amazed that you are still sane” followed by anything to change the subject. Try a little gratitude. That's been known to crinkle a universe or two.

Are you compelled to always try your hardest to win, be right, better than, or different to anyone else? Or at least not to appear to lose or to be wrong? How's that working for you? Is it fun? Or do you feel trapped in a race for which you don't seem equipped and are never enough? Are you frozen by the fear of failure? What if competition was not real? Are you the same as anyone else? No. So how can an apple and a nightingale compete? Only by both becoming something else that they're not. So if you feel limited, frustrated or frozen by the rules of a race that doesn't exist, ask “What's the value of buying into competition as real?” Then ask “What is the greatest contribution I can be to my life, family, business and communities?” That's the generative kind of competition, which is all about being more of you.
Is something in your life stuck and you can't seem to shift it? For you to be unable to change something, you have to have decided or concluded something about it. For example, what have you decided in your life is perfect or the answer? A relationship? A job? A business? When you can see your decisions – and are willing to let them go – all change becomes possible. So when you're stuck, ask “What decisions, conclusions and answers have I made about this?” This does not mean you have to end the relationship, or job, or business. You can transform it into something else, something better than you could have ever imagined. How? Ask another question.
