Discovering Ourselves Through Our Story

Storytelling leads to self-awareness & self-discovery. Yet there is no hurry to tell our stories to the world till we are ready. If there are uncomfortable parts, write them in a personal diary.

We go through 5 stages of life before we are ready to share our story with the world without feeling uncomfortable:-

1) Finding your story- Understanding & connecting dots of life to find your gift / deep passion. The journey begins.
You find your essence/ core.

2) Reconciliation- Acceptance or coming to terms with our story & seeing villains as lessons.
Leads to acceptance & inner peace.

3) Sensemaking - Resolving inner conflicts & finding deeper meaning. You find answers to "Why me?"
Your story makes sense to you.

4) Healing-Healing our baggage & emotional wounds. Letting go of the past.
Preparing to embrace our future.

5) Self-awareness-Finding your voice, identity and inner confidence. Deeper understanding of who you are.
Which experiences have shaped you?

6) Telling your inspiring story-Sharing your story with the world. When your share your journey of struggles, healing & self-discovery, you inspire others to do the same.

You start a chain of inspiration.

Connecting with self -> Connecting with others -> Better Leadership

At which stage are you?
