Have you ever considered the power that stories have in our lives? Life itself can be seen as a series of stories, several of which are occurring at any given time in any individual’s life. There is your personal story, your family story, your work story, your romantic story and a host of others, along with the stories of others whose lives intersect yours.
Each and every part of your life can be seen, on some level, as a narrative that interconnects with millions of other narratives for a brief span of time. Like any good novel, you want to find out how the story ends, so you pursue closure in the various narrative threads involved in your life.
Sharing is Key to Story Power
Since empowerment, motivation and hope are three critical elements in any successful endeavor, it stands to reason that stories can be a valuable tool in reaching our goals. The power of others’ stories as well as our own life narratives can be harnessed to push our dreams from the realm of fiction into that of reality.
When you share stories with others in the Inspire My Life women’s programs, you find that you become more motivated to accomplish your own goals and that your experiences motivate others. This reciprocal system can be one of the most powerful in your life for several reasons.
Reconnect with People and Inspire Others
First, you will find a great relief and joy in learning that others have felt what you feel and done what you have done. Nothing is more isolating and crippling than feeling that no one else understands us. When you realize that others have been exactly where you are and learn how they handled the situation, you suddenly reconnect with others and take your place as a valuable member of the sharing community. Not only do others inspire you by sharing their stories and having you identify with them; you also inspire others who may feel they are completely alone.
Reach Your Goals with New-found Support
Finally, by working with a community of friends in the Inspire My Life women’s programs, you will find that watching others reach their goals can be almost as satisfying as reaching your own. As you begin to interact with others and support them, their triumphs become yours and you begin to feel a sense of pride and ownership when others are able to overcome obstacles to reach their goals.
Inspire My Life Women’s programs can give you the tools you need to share your narrative and learn the stories of others so that you can become part of a community of experience.
