    It's incredible that just by that small shift in perspective -- viewing my life as a story rather than a series of events -- that I feel I could build a better appreciation for it.
Yes, you can look at it from different angles and lenses, depending on the story you want to tell. You can be a hero or a victim. You can tell a story in which you are powerless, or you can tell the same story in which the outcome was determined by your choices. It depends on what details you pick.
