Why You Need to Share Your Story!
We all have a story, no matter how insignificant we think ours is. In this journey of life there are many things we have experienced and learnt from that we could easily help others with. It doesn’t mean we have to be some super star self help guru, or do this work as a profession, it means we can share our story with others and make a positive difference in their lives.
We can start doing this by just acknowledging that we do have a story and that there are others out there looking for guidance, answers and inspiration form people just like us – people who need that someone just like you, with all your unique traits, personality and quirks – and we ALL have our little quirks. 
Arabelle Yee wrote a pretty cool article in the Huff Post. I have also included some cool excerpts from her Blog post below:
If you pay attention to all the successful people, you’ll notice that each of them has a story to tell; a story of how they got started, the struggles they went through or the ah-ha moments they had that put them on the entrepreneurial journey.
haring your story makes you real, makes you human and makes you relatable. Your story is the core of your why – your purpose, the reason why you’re doing what you’re doing now. It tells people what you’ve gone through, what you’ve learned, what you’ve implemented in your life – which means it gives you credibility.
And it builds trust.
Your story defines your vision and mission. When people share your vision, they’re already on board. Half of your selling is done.
What’s the defining moment of story?
I started asking myself smart questions like “Did I live fully?” “Did I love wholeheartedly?” “Did I give abundantly?” “Did I contribute enough?”
So what’s your story?
Ask yourself these questions and answer honestly;
- Who am I?
- What have I gone through in life?
- What was the ah-ha moment that put me on this journey?
- How did that help me understand my purpose?
- What did I learn?
- What did I screw up?
- What did I implement?
- What can I start sharing it with people?
What kind of emotions do you want to evoke?
- Do you want to inspire them?
- Do you want them to feel emotional to help them get in touch with their emotions?
- Do you want them feeling pumped and take action straight away?
So plenty of awesome excerpts there by Arabelle Less in her article. Know that you are different to others and you have a unique life experience and story to share with others.
Good luck and enjoy
