Recently, someone asked me – “why are you asking people to share their story?” I said – “two things; for themselves and for other people.” For themselves because when you share your story, you feel the feelings, the memories, the emotions, the life that you have lived and you're still living, and the connection and attraction that builds love with people. You sometimes feel something unique within you that is difficult to explain. Depending on the story you share, whether it’s a happy or sad one, you feel calm within yourself that you’ve done something right and valuable to others.
And going further, if you need help, you get help. If you need support, you get support. Sharing your story is an easy way to share your life with people and let them know what you have gone through or going through. It’s not good to die in silence. People can only help when you open up and share your story. Though, some may find this risky, maybe because of their experience or because of what they've heard other people said.
But what I would say is find someone reliable to share your story with, if it’s not what you want to share in the public. Or better still, change the name or make it anonymous. Nobody is going to crucify you for it. They say problem shared is half-solved. A story you don’t share is a story that would remain unshared and unappreciated, and on the long run, it could end as a regret when you feel later like you should have shared it.
The second part of the reasons why you should share your story is for people. You should share your story so that it can benefit other people. I've said this couple of times in my previous articles. People actually appreciate those who share their stories more than those who don’t. They feel more connected and attracted to them. And if people are also going through the same thing, they feel like they’ve found someone who could help them through their own situation. Think of some of the people that you respect most, many of them would be those who have shared their stories or experiences with you.
You don’t need to feel ashamed of your story. Go ahead and share it. For the fact that you are bold enough to share your story is a big plus to you. And people, sooner or later, would appreciate you for it, and forget those who didn’t share their own stories. Because stories stick into our minds. We remember faster and easier, depending on the strength of the emotions involved and the lessons we learned.
I encourage you today to look back and see what story in your life you would love to share with someone today and would be of benefit to you and to them. Write it down. Record it. Discuss it with your family or friends. And you will see how fulfilling and amazing it is. I appreciate your time.
