Don't get up caought up with the story

What's your name?
Where do you live?
What do you do?
How are you?
Are you married?
What does your spouse do?
Do you have kids?
How many kids do you have?
Where do you work?
Have you visited any place over the weekend?
What are you waiting for?

So the list of questions we ask or get asked on a daily basis continues.
But have you ever wondered, what exactly we are doing when we ask these questions or answer any of these questions?
Think about it?

Well lets see by answering some of these questions.
My name is X, i live at y city, i work as Z at abc company, iam married to q, and we have d kids. We tell a story when we answer a question or for that matter at every second of our life we are doing nothin but tell a story.

When we are sad, we are telling a story of what we are missing to others or in our head.
When we are happy, we are telling a story of what we have accomplished.
When we are angry, we are telling a story of how badly we want something.
When we are disappointed/lost, we are telling a story of what we can't have.

As we experience every emotion, we are telling a story.
And these kinds of stories will never end, b'cos that is the way of our life.

And to make our life more enjoyable, it will only be wise if we tell a story of what we have and to let go of those stories that do not serve us in anyway.
