Top 10 Storytelling Lies EP: 011
Do you ever find yourself wanting to share a story you feel is relevant, but suddenly stop yourself with the thought that your story doesn’t really matter?
I know that sharing your story may not be easy at first, with all the junk (yes, it’s JUNK!) going through your mind, making you believe that you ought to play things down and not think big. And hearing my clients and people from my community making the same comments repeatedly made me realize that it’s just about time we debunk these lies, get back on track, and begin to purposely live our truths through our stories.
So today on The Inside Story Podcast, let’s talk about:
- Why telling your story is an important skill you need to learn
- The lies we tell ourselves that keep us from sharing our stories
- The different ways we can overcome these lies so we can begin our journey to better storytelling
- The 3-part formula you can use to put your story in perspective, and find the message and wisdom you can convey to your audience
- The fact that every story is important and significant, in its own way
- How your story can bring hope and encouragement to those you share it with, when done the right way
Each one of us goes through a powerful moment in our lives that’s filled with stories. And for most of us, 2020 is an exceptionally relevant year wherein we’re dealing with so many personal, social, political, and even religious experiences that ignite the beginnings of an extraordinary story … a story that can inspire and move and teach others.
I have a favorite quote I came across on Instagram, and it goes like this: “One day you will tell the story of how you’ve overcome what you are going through right now, and it will become part of someone else’s survival guide.”
All we need is to be brave. We need to be courageous and step up, and share the story that’s inside of us. Because remember, when we share our stories, we shine a light.
