Disrupt Your Narrative | Desires✨

Welcome to Disrupt Your Narrative

To disrupt your narrative means to challenge or interrupt the established story or framework that you have created about yourself, your life, or a particular situation. It involves questioning and reevaluating the assumptions, beliefs, and patterns that shape your understanding of yourself and the world around you.

On Wednesday, I release a newsletter outlining one of the most impactful ways you can disrupt your narrative and begin taking control of your life.

What Exactly Does it Mean to Disrupt Your Desires?

Short and sweet this week.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pilot. Pretty classic profession to strive for when you know very little about the world. As time went on, I learned of the fabled anesthesiologist and their wage. ‘That’, I thought, ‘That’s what I’m going for’. Too much school I came to find, so the search went on.

At a certain point, it had to be an author, a journalist, poet, or other type linguist. I mistook a passion for writing as an obligation to write as a career. I switched my sights to the business world, then began studying sociology, then moved to economics, and finally, data analytics.

When I was growing up and even going through college, did I think I would work across the nuclear enterprise on nuclear deterrence or weapons proliferation? No. Do I want to do it forever? No. Do I have track record of feeling stuck in things and growing stagnant? I do not.

So this little narrative to say, just continue to disrupt your desires if what you’re doing isn’t what you expect for yourself long-term. Don’t quit everything after a couple weeks, but perhaps a couple years. We get so locked in and think just because it’s something we once wanted, it is absolute. Any rule you may have against quitting is an arbitrary and personal thing, and ultimately will just hold you back. Keep disrupting your desires until you find what you love in any area of life.

Wanting something in the past doesn’t mean you have to keep forcing yourself to want it in the present, no matter what you’ve said or done. Life is short, things change.

Why it Works?

This is likely a bit more intuitive than weeks past. Disrupting your desires promotes the idea that your life is fluid and in your control. Living dynamically and avoiding stagnation is the basis of disrupting your narrative, and this is one of the best ways to make that happen.
