14. What Story Am I In?
Pandemic storytelling. Macro and micro storylines. Metamotivations. Three questions. Break-up and rebirth. Hero’s journey. How to assess reality. Daydreaming the new story. Self-compassion. The asshole in my head. Damon’s doppelgänger. Safety nets and stoicism. Happiness = reality - expectations. Self-unemployed. The new story, the open-ended story, the story of adventure. Pick your moral first. The most important part of any story. Improv.

Metamotivations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamotivation
Three questions: 1. What is the story I’m telling? 2. Is it true? 3. If so, is there another story I could be telling that’s also true?
Hero’s journey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey
William Upski Wimsatt quotes: “The hardest lesson I keep having to learn: there is no substitute for loving myself, respecting myself, and being true to myself. There are no shortcuts. You can’t use anything external to substitute for inner-love.” & “You are where you are for reasons, many outside your control. Your job is not to judge yourself. Your job is to be honest with yourself about where you are (wherever that is), to be gentle with yourself, and to daydream possible paths to get where you want to be.”
