Learn How to Tell Your Story



These 5 young men gave me a chance to share my story with them, as they shared their lives and their dreams with me. It is important that we all learn "our story." That is, the journey that God has you on in this thing called life. Why did you go through this or that? How have your experiences impacted or changed you for better or worse? How do you process each experience so that it becomes a marker on the journey, and not an exit ramp that takes you off course and stops you from reaching your God ordained destiny? Who are the people who have helped you along the way? What choices did you make that helped and/or hindered the process?

We left off with this,

1. We all need "purpose." In order to understand our purpose, we need to know who we are-our identity; what we are good at-our gifts and talents; and what we love to do-our passion.
2. Next, we must set goals, short term and long term.
3. We need to evaluate those goals in a timely fashion. If we aren't making progress towards those goals, then we need to make adjustments that will allow us to move forward.
4. Overall, we need to have a vision for our lives, and we have to believe that we can, with God's help, see that vision come to fruition.


And anyone who doesn't believe in that vision or discourages it in any way can keep it moving!
