Find Your Story

"We must create and find our own stories, our own myths with symbols that will bind us to the world as we seat today." - Terry Tempest Williams

". . . each of us is a complete unique creature and that, if we are ever to give any gift to the world, it will have to come out of our own experience and the fulfillment of our own potentialities, not someone else's. - Joseph Campbell

"What is your myth. The myth in which you live." - Carl Jung

An autobiographical story is a meaningful narrative with a beginning, middle and conclusion.

It involves: Desire. Struggle. Realization.

More than an accounting of events, it includes emotional, moral, and psychological tones which give meaning to the events.

Story Shape

A desire begins the story.

A struggle exists to gain it through action or actions. Interrelated events  occurred that you made happen and that happened to you.

Because of what happened you are a  different person.

You realized something as a result of the struggle.

You see things differently.

Wisdom results beyond the mere aging process.
