My Story, and Yours
I have a story. It started long ago … although it doesn’t feel so long ago. You have one too. If yours is anything like mine, it’s full of triumph and tragedy, love and rejection, victory and defeat. It’s likely been a bumpy road.
But my story is real, and so it matters. So does yours. As we live out our stories together, whenever our stories overlap, it leaves a mark. If we’re willing, these marks can change us, and we can change the world. But it’s complicated because we don’t always know how to share our stories. Often we don’t know where they’re headed, or even how we got here.
The important thing is that you have a story, and your story matters, because the author of the story has been guiding it every step of the way, whether you realize it or not.
So, what’s your story? Watch the video
