Why Should You Write your Life Story?

      

Just like John Maxwell’s book Attitude 101, he provides in his book that: “Life is like a deck of cards, we get no choice what cards are dealt to us, and it is how we play them that affect the outcome!”

Why tell your life story? The truth is, it can be a tough decision to re-live things that are not so easy to return to. Life is not always fair. People are always worried about being judged. You may not be proud of your failures early in life but may need to come to realize that God placed those failures in front of you to make me who you are. 

Writing a book does not mean you have to dwell in the past, it just means you are willing to re-live it in words and it is actually therapeutic.  We all feel anchored at times to the past but it is gone and will not return. It does not mean you or I did not learn from it. The words “I wish I wouldn’t have” can ring true in so many ways. The best part is you can engineer your new future using a few quick and easy steps. Secondly, if you have had strong adversity, this might sound strange but you should feel blessed. It has the ability to create a deep desire for change and builds a character that cannot be shaken easily once it happens.

Your life story may even be more exciting and with more twists and turns than mine!  If it is, maybe you should write a book!

I have experienced that life is not always fair and life’s trials can come from any direction.  We all deal with adversity. The good news is it can be overcome and it does make you stronger but only after you make the right choice about what to do after we experience it. It does not mean the pain of it goes away.  There are stages we all go through any healing process or any drastic change in our lives. So what helped me to make changes in my life up to now? It was reading books from the likes of Harvey McKay, Tony Robbins, John Maxwell, Zig Ziglar, Napoleon Hill, David Joseph Schwartz, Ph.D., Melvin Powers, Jim Collins,  Stephen Covey and Stephen Covey Jr.. I have read many of their books over the years. I bought them at book stores, picked them up at garage sales, bid on them at auction and bought them on the internet.  I am a firm believer in the things that I learned from each of these great authors that has allowed me so far in life to achieve superior personal and professional results so far and there is always more work to be done.
