If there was no story, I would respond from a clean slate - as if this circumstance has never happened before.
It would allow me to relate to each circumstance differently, and not compare one with the other. No circumstance is ever the same. However, it's our interpretation that makes it similar to one another.
Responding to no story would mean that you agree to step into the unknown. Instead of comparing a circumstance with a past experience, you allow it to unfold in its own time and space - to allow what it needs to be. Instead of projecting a past experience onto something that is yet to happen.
The thing is, it is not so easy to differentiate ourselves from the whole story. Because we are living life up at a close scale. However, at any point, when we resort to selecting a judgment, it limits our experience. This is how the cycles continue.
Instead whenever a new circumstance comes, how about you decide to relate to it differently? What if you give it a chance, and allow it to unfold one step at a time. Instead of assuming an outcome based on a past experience?
Every time we make space to shift outcomes, we allow the experience to change in its own way. Whenever we give circumstances a chance without imposing anything on them (low to no expectations), the way it unfolds can pleasantly surprise us.
Allow circumstances to be what they need to be. Please don't put any outdated assumptions into its unfolding. Let life reveal its surprises to you. Make space for the shift. Allow it to happen.
Sticking to the story keeps you in the known. However, when you decide to respond differently, you connect with the unknown - the realm of possibilities.
