What Is Your Story?

[StrawberryFields]

Okay, you know I where my heart on my sleeve and this is something I have been thinking about so I wanted to share it with you.

One of my favorite authors is Dr, Wayne Dyer, a good friend introduced him to me many years ago when I thought that I was having the most difficulty time ever. Anyway, I think that I have read almost every book he has written and his words helped me to make some remarkable changes in my life. Many of his quotes come to me at some really interesting and helpful times. The thing I am thinking about now is... Don't die with your story still in you...

So I ask do you know what your story is? I believe that we all have something very profound to give...something that only each of us can do while we are here. It may be a gift given as a painter, or a musician. It may be as simple as a gift to inspire the very young to reform their ways. We have all been given gifts and talents that we need to cultivate and develop and then we need to share it with others. I believe that sometimes we place such a high standard on ourselves that we fail to see that we are doing what we came here to do; we are making a difference in the lives of others for good. If you don't feel that you are developing your gifts and talents enough then it is not too late to do so. I would think that when we get to heaven and we look back at our lives that we will want to see ourselves giving and sharing in our talents.

Give it some thought...What is YOUR story?

Lindy,

your avatar makes me smile. :)

I think that it is a cat, but it reminds me of my two tame raccoons that I raised from babies. :)

SF,

I would like to be known as a helpful, loving, and caring person. :) I don't want to be known as someone that thinks that they are superior to others and puts others down, so that they can show the world their greatness.

My story is The Grim Shadow: A Modern Day Fable

I poured all my passion, outrage and experience into the telling of it. It will be available in book form in September.

It starts out innocuous enough but gets brutal towards the end. I also have a story blog, The Grim Shadow BLOG

Here is an excerpt from the book:

Far off near the edge of The Dimension of Barbarik close to the top of Mount Egavas was a naturally hidden cave of crystal formations. At night it was dark and damp but during the day for the few moments that the sunbeams blazed directly through a small aperture in its ceiling the entire cave would be transformed into a giant prism reflecting a thousand ricocheting rainbows of light. The existence of the cave was known only to members of the Clan of the True Believers. The sacred revelations received there were never to be discussed outside of the cave, not even amongst themselves.
