The Perspective Muscle: Change Your Story, Change Your Response What if the story you tell yourself about what happens influences your life almost as much as what actually happened? Two people can experience the same setback. One sees proof that they're not good enough. The other sees something disappointing, but not necessarily permanent. One gives up.
