Ask yourself Quote by Courtney Westlake
““But it takes a certain boldness to stand up and tell a story of celebration. It takes courage to push aside the negative and write our own story of triumph—not just once, but again and again. Choosing this path of courage day after day leads to a life of wonder and beauty, joy and accomplishment—not only in telling our story but in living it out. As Austin Kleon writes in his book Steal Like an Artist: “Write the kind of story you like best—write the story you want to read. Whenever you’re at a loss for what move to make next, just ask yourself, ‘What would make a better story?’ “32””
