What story are you still living that no longer serves who you’re becoming?
Day 13 of Reimagining Aliveness — a daily question for coming back to life.
Yuval Noah Harari reminds us that human beings don’t simply live in the world — we live inside stories about the world. Money, borders, careers — none of them exist the way a river exists. They’re stories, powerful only because we keep believing them together.
And here’s where it turns personal: your identity is a story too. Some of it you authored. A surprising amount was handed to you — who you are, what you’re capable of, what someone like you is allowed to want. A story that once protected you can quietly become the walls you live inside. You can’t step out of story altogether — humans are meaning-makers to the bone. But the moment you see a story as a story, it loosens its grip — and you get a say in what gets written next.
Today’s question: What story are you still living that no longer serves who you’re becoming?
Carry it with you today — then come share your answer. The conversation’s happening in the Rebel’s Playground:
