LET’S EXAMINE “LIFE STORY.”

When we say our powerful question is embedded in our life story, it’s important to examine what that means. Life story includes all the realities that we experience: birthdays, graduations, first loves, losing a friend, getting a promotion, etc.. It also includes our narrative, the story we tell ourselves about those events and what they mean to, and about, us. These narratives are foundational to what we believe about ourselves and the world we live in. Some experiences cause wounds that may keep us stuck in various stages of loss, anger, or despair. Our powerful question is not about our wounds, it is about the person who suffered and survived, wounds and all.
