💡 CheatCode #122: Edit Your Origin Story
The past doesn’t define you — the story you tell about it does.
“You can’t change what happened, but you can change what it means.” — Viktor Frankl (adapted)
We drag our history like a file labeled “evidence.” Failures, regrets, bad chapters — all treated as proof of limitation.
But high performers edit their stories. They turn mistakes into origin myths and setbacks into proof of resilience. The event stays the same — the narrative evolves.
Your life isn’t a record, it’s a draft. The story you rehearse determines the future you allow.
Why it works:
✅ Rewrites emotional memory through reframing.
✅ Builds psychological ownership instead of victimhood.
✅ Converts shame into usable wisdom.
Today’s Challenge:
Pick one painful event from your past and rewrite it as a training chapter — what skill, strength, or standard did it teach you?
Final Thought:
Healing begins the moment your story starts serving you. -1% CheatCode
