Every life tells a story. Yours. Mine. The ones we know and the ones we don’t know.

Every life tells a story.

The question is – are you living the story you want to tell?

Or just the one you think the world wants to hear?

The truth is that the story you want to tell – the one you need to tell – is exactly the story that the world needs to hear.

Your own unique story, perspective, passions and dreams and you-ness. Your own unique gifts, shared in the way that only you can share them. This is what the world needs.

But forget for a moment what the world wants.“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” (~Maya Angelou)

Forget what the world needs.

Think about this for a minute:

What would life be like, really be like, if you really lived the story that you want to tell?

What would you do? Where would you go? Who would you be? Can you imagine it?Now is the time to start living the life you’ve always imagined.

Can you imagine if everyone really lived the story they wanted to tell?

If everyone dared to dream and be who they really wanted to be?

I imagine that if we all spent more time thinking about the story that we want to tell, more time being honest with ourselves about what that story is, and then honest with the world about it, life would change for an awful lot of us.

I imagine there’d be a lot more smiles on a lot more faces.

A lot more joy and, yeah, probably a lot less stress.

A lot more living instead of merely existing.

Every life tells a story.

Mine does. Yours too.

So here’s the question – is it the one you want to tell?
