Three Key Points:
We all have stories to tell, but unfortunately many stories we tell are disempowering to us. It’s important to write your story in a way that makes it empowering and retell it to others who can benefit from it.
Many times people wont act on their inspiration, and just leave it to the side — unfortunately many of those inspirational stories never get heard. But it’s important to, once you have the inspiration, actually share that with the world — otherwise your story will end up 6-feet under along with you.
Talking and thinking about death isn’t about sounding morbid. It’s about the driving motivational factors that kicks us into gear to develop, write, and tell our inspirational stories.
