檳榔嶼

- Families often assign us roles that shape our stories.
- I learned tenderness toward myself and was able to reach out tenderly to others who were suffering.
- Sometimes the story a family member tells about us reflects only a single aspect of our character, yet unconsciously, we embrace it as the whole truth.
- We must repeatedly test the limits of our story, to prevent it from becoming solid, to create some give, some stretch, some room for revision.
- Try retelling your story as a hero's journey, where you survived hard times and failures to become the stronger and wiser person
- Are you living someone else's story? What would happen if you declare independence?
