The Power of The Story

So... what's your story?

Have you ever heard that - asked that - been asked that?

What do you say?

Um, I came down from heaven on a moon beam & the rest is history. lol.

Seriously, when someone asks that, it leaves the chasm so wide open, it gives a person enough rope to hang themselves. Say too little, it makes ya look closed up, too tight lipped. 
Sounds good to me!
Say too much and you've said too much! 

Everyone has a unique story of their life. Different experiences that shape us, that make us who we are. Some experiences are better forgotten, some experiences are so moving that the impact is felt for a lifetime.

The power of your own unique story can change your life, can change the lives of others simply by the telling of it.

The power of your story creates the energy around you, it can be felt by others whether you realize it or not.

Have you ever ~

Jumped from an aircraft?
Given birth to a child or twins or triplets?
Been in a car wreck?
Become addicted to a chemical substance?
Been arrested?
Did you have a good childhood or a traumatic one?
Do you struggle with weight issues? (losing or gaining)
Met a celebrity whom you admired?
Become a father?
Experienced the pain and trauma of a divorce?
Fallen in love?

If you have experienced one of many of these events, it has the power to change you, sometimes for the better.

PLOT TWIST!

If your "story" is dragging you down, making you feel emotional pain, why not re-write it solely for your own benefit.

It's a very healing activity.

This means, telling yourself a happier version of events that were so painful it gave you depression, anxiety, even nightmares.

Just for yourself, for your own healing, NOT for job applications or college exams or entrance!

Just for you!

So, in a happier version, "What's your story?"
