This information is to help you to start asking questions and pondering your life in moving toward your potential, possibilities and purpose.
OUR STORY:
What is your story? Our stories are made up of the people, places, things, situations, circumstances, experiences, feelings, and actions of our beginnings to this point. Here are some facts about our stories.
• Our stories, as long as we are honest with ourselves, are always true. I can’t come up to you and say your story is a lie, didn’t live right kind of story, or you don’t have a story…because it’s your story
• All of us have a story
• Our stories have a purpose. Something is meant to happen because of story
• Our stories show us how we’re wired and our uniqueness. There are a zillion people in the world. Every person has a unique story. You have a unique story, certain pain and struggles you gone through, talents, thoughts, gifts, abilities that only you can bring to the table to make a difference or impact someone’s life.
• Our stories should cause us to look back, learn from, and make changes for our future. It is for you to go back and learn from the great things you’ve done, the wrong choices, the pain, those moments when you said, “never again!”, the places where you went left instead of going right, those things you responded to because you were hurting.
• Our stories are meant to give us hope. What is hope? Hope is remembering the events of the past and recalling the joys, dreams and visions while eagerly anticipating it’s fulfillment for a time that hasn’t occurred yet.
• Finally, our stories are meant to change our piece of the world and impact lives. In other words, our stories are NOT meant to keep us stuck in the past or used to sing the constant chorus of “Nobody knows da trouble I’ve seen. Our stories are the only thing we have and can give away that gives our lives any sort of meaning.
In preparation for our next blog, begin to write out events that you believe make up your story. Next time, we will actually begin to write out our story.
Take care
