The Stories of Your Life Matter
The world is made up of stories.
Some are fanciful and timeless. Others are deeply personal and private. Many stories just are: they are daily occurrences, experiences, and other matters that happen along the way.
You have had things happen to you that make for interesting stories, as well as things that are pretty mundane and uninteresting to anyone, possibly even you. But these stories are what make up our lives. Some even become a part of our collective consciousness.
Whether you believe it or not, you have a story to tell. Sharing it is entirely up to you…or not.
As Tyrion Lannister says at the end of Game of Thrones:
“What unites people? Armies? Gold? Flags? Stories. There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it.”
This may have come from a fictional character, but it is still true.
Who shares the stories?
There is a famous quote attributed to Winston Churchill that says,
“History is written by the victors.”
