Live a Great Story

Empowering You to Make It Count

A friend recently said, "I don't think I have a story to tell." I disagree. Everyone has a story worth telling, and you have the power to make yours remarkable. Living a great story isn't just about big adventures or significant milestones. It's about the choices you make every day and the way you shape your journey.

Your Story Matters

Sometimes, we chase a dream, and it can be challenging to let ourselves follow through on it. At other times, we face significant challenges, and we need to double down and fortify our courage to make it through. And then there are times when it's hard to find meaning in our daily routines.

This is the stuff of life, and all of it matters. The key is to embrace both the highs and the lows as important chapters that make your story unique and relevant.

Tips to Live a Great Story

1. Be Authentic: Stay true to yourself and your values. Let these guide your decisions and interactions. When things get hard, we're tempted to hide. But what if we chose to bring what we really think and feel to the table? What would that make possible?
2. Pursue Curiosity: Look for surprises. Ask people what they think. Say, "I wonder what would happen if I took the growth move." Imagine what it would be like if you took the chance and it was successful. Ask yourself what you really want. And lean into the answer. Is there an alternative approach to this? There are often more than 20 possible solutions to every dilemma. Ask for input and see what people say.
3. Connect with Others: Build genuine relationships with trustworthy people and seek out communities doing what you aspire to do. Listen, learn, and share your experiences too. A genuine connection happens when we're authentic, sharing not just our victories but also our struggles and how we're navigating through them. Keep in mind: the details may differ, but the feelings are the same. 
4. Embrace Adversity: This does not come naturally. Our instinct is to avoid what feels threatening. But the challenges we tend to avoid shape our courage and deepen our character. Without adversity, our stories lack meaning. Struggle gives meaning to victory, and it's what makes our stories real and relatable. 
5. Celebrate Small Wins: Stop waiting for a huge, flashy success to feel good about yourself. Life is a collection of small wins and tiny victories we rack up daily. Even mistakes teach us something valuable. Growth typically does not happen through three easy steps; it's built from a million tiny shuffles in the same direction. Trust the process and count your daily wins. When you look back and see how far you've come, you'll gain the momentum you need for the next big challenge. Don't fall for the lie that only giant achievements count! The small, consistent steps are what actually move you forward.
