In times of stress and chaos, we can easily lose ourselves in the onslaught of information and misinformation. It hits us like waves. We're told how to think. We're told how to believe. We learn to be reactionary and respond to whatever comes our way. Piece by piece, our humanity slowly strips away. We begin to forget who we are and what we're made of. We lose the plot of our own stories. It's in these times that we must remind ourselves of the truth of our own journeys. Our story matters.
The power of our own stories serves to be a memorial of who we are and where we've come from. It's in these places that we gain perspective to remind us of what is important and what drives us. We return to our own story because it is our own. It tells us who we are, what matters to us, and where to go next.
I've had the pleasure and honor of hearing people's stories in my own life. Through this radio show, I also receive letters from listeners where I hear tales of hope and courage but also of pain and loss. It takes bravery to tell your story. It takes even more to own your story and live it out with intention and purpose.
Today, I'll share my story (or at least part of it) and how that story led me to start this radio show. It's not an epic tale of legend, but it's still mine. There are wonderful parts, but it's also filled with loss and pain. It makes me who I am. I own it and honor it as I continue to journey forward into an uncertain future. Like your story, mine is still evolving. I've personally been on this journey for over forty years. I hope to meet you along the way.
Safe travels.
