There is nothing more important to understand in life than what your story is. Yes, your story. What’s your story?
I’ve asked people this simple yet loaded question throughout my life. Some people have offered theirs as the gift that it is. Others have literally told me, “What story? I don’t have a story.” in the same exact breath they were telling me all about themselves and the events in their lives that have impacted them.
“Really? You don’t have a story?” I say. “You’re living it. You’ve been living it.”
People either try to deny they have a story, are unaware they are often given and run by one, or try to change the subject when they realize, “Oh! I do have a story. I am the story I tell of myself.”
No matter what you say or do, I hope you realize right here and now that you do have a story. The question is, what is it? What’s the story behind the life you live? What’s under that surface veneer you show the world? This is what’s really important because that story is the underlying, foundational truth of who you are and how you get by in the world on a second-by-second basis.
Your Story, My Story
Your story matters… a lot! All our stories do. Why? Because, together, they make up the life we all live and create the world we live in. Knowing your story is also important because once you acknowledge it, see it clearly and understand it, you can do something about it… you can assess it, you can change it, you can rewrite it. You can create whatever it is you really want for yourself out of it and your life.
You’ve got to know who you are at the core though. You’ve got to go there – to those places you don’t want to go – to start. If you do, you’ll see you have all the power over those places and events in your life. If you don’t, they’ll have all the power over you. In the former, you live. In the latter, you die. The choice to do the work is always in your hands.
Whatever your particular case may be, realize this above all: you have a story worth telling. Your life is your story. You are at the epicenter of it and you are as worthy of the life you have been given as we all are each worthy of our own.
All my love to you always,
