I am going to show you another side of story. Instinctively, we all know it’s “there,” and we’ve seen it a hundred times and all our lives, but we’re not talking about it.
This is a story that is present in almost every, single movie, song, book, and play.
The Story Formula is “What you Want + The Obstacle + How you Overcome your Obstacle to get what you want = Story
The Discovery of The Self “Story” + The Obstacles are The Conformist, The Narcissist + The Victory of Happiness, Getting the Self, Getting What you Want
To demonstrate this, I am going to use 4 examples:
