“What’s
your story?” Have you ever been asked
that question? I have. Usually, it seems to mean why you are doing
what it is you are doing at that particular time. Generally speaking, it’s more of a passing
fancy sort of question, and it truly minimizes your STORY.
Many
people look at your story as a sort of Fate.
You were born to these parents, you were raised with these siblings, you
went to these schools to learn what you know … you started working in this
particular field … you married (or not) you’ve had children (or not)… and the
story goes on until you die. And
according to Fate, you did not have much if any choices in your story; you
fulfill your destiny simply by breathing and waking up every day.
I
believe that your Story is much more than that.
For that reason I will capitalize the word story when I’m talking about
your Story because it is so very important.
Yes, you can have a default Story, if you go through life without making
any real choices, but how many of us really do that? It is more likely that you are creating your
Story every day, as you go along. You
know, most authors when they write, have an idea of how the book is going to begin
and END. They fill in the middle part as
they go along. Well, as the author of
your life you cannot be 100% sure of how your Story is going to end, but you
can “write” it as if you do.
Your
Story is made up of every second, every breath that you took. Do not minimize
it by saying your story is, “well, I’m accountant – married with 3 kids”. You have a Story. Be proud of it! And
when asked to speak of it … tell your Story with passion and love!
