Dallas Bragg argues you shape your reality through the meanings you assign to events, not the events themselves. You're not a victim of what happens to you. You're the author of the story you tell about it.

You are creating reality through your choice. You are the author of this story. You're not the character only. So listen, circumstances don't create your reality. Your choices about the circumstances do. You've been taught to believe that life is happening to you, that the circumstances outside of yourself, a breakup, a job loss, a craving, a difficult family situation, are the cause of your state of mind. But this is backwards. Your circumstances are the effect of the choices you've been making in your mind, the narrative you've been writing, the meaning you've been assigning, the story you've been telling yourself about what those circumstances mean. This is your Godlike higher power, the ability to create the reality you want through the choices you make about what those things outside of you mean.
