“The events of our lives can be reshaped over time, resulting in positive changes in our self-identity”

Why Life Stories Change: As You Look At Your Own Life Story, You See Yourself Differently states who we are in all the events in our life, especially those we connect with. We choose the events that connect each time we tell our life stories. We do just that by putting together the narrative of who we are in our own life stories.

We can pick which of the events we connect with, what we conclude about them, and then weave and reweave them into our story. As my story changes with the retelling, it changes me. I become different because of how I see the story.

The narrative includes our experiences and those we have known. A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, and all those lives influence us.  


A poem by an unknown author suggests that:

"Some people come into our lives for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime.”

Why Life Stories Change - Comments by the Author →


Do we see our life experiences differently over time? Of course, we see things differently as we gain new insights and learn from new experiences. It isn’t surprising that the conclusions about past events would change with added new experiences. But the question as to whether that change of perception changes who we are requires some thought.

It isn’t that things become more clear with new examples and experiences. It is whether you perceive the difference. The change happens with the unique perspectives right in front of your eyes or, in some cases, slowly as more experiences follow.

New experiences change our perception of past events, and by doing so, we reinvent ourselves.
