"Own your back story so it doesn't sabotage you when you tell your front story. Be active in your own rescue; confront the stories that others are telling about you. Leverage the back story that rules your listener; it can be a powerful ally"- tell to win book

When people formulate their opinion about you based on your past your future is no longer controlled by you.  The back story might have been embellished by yourself or modified by others.  It is what it is.

The advise above says to confront the stories if you are to control your front story.  If not then your listener, your audience, will not be on your side fully.

Most of us lead our lives as an open book.  We pretend that the opinions of others do not matter to us BUT in reality they do.  Even if are not affected by them emotionally, they can control our future messages and therefore drastically change our intended future.

Today's question is:
"How do you control your back story?"
