When dealing with living life, everyone needs some kind of narrative in order to navigate and cope based on our individual predispositions and learned ways of doing things. In an ideal world, each person would find the narrative that best suits them and helps them live life as best as they can.
"Choose experiences over items." "Be positive." "Open space for others." "Find your passion. Find your voice." "Live your life to your fullest." "Just do it." "Sacrifice and hard work for others." "Be innovative." "Think outside of the box." "Think inside the box." "Get out of your comfort zone." "Stay true to what is tried, tested, and true." "Respect those who came before you." etc, etc, etc...
Sometimes it can be a maze to find out which sets of narratives work best for an individual or a group. Each tends to promote a specific mindset that works better for some, but not others. The "Golden Rule" of do unto others as you would want them to do unto you... often can have disastrous results because people often want or prioritize different things.
