“Rock YOUR Story”
…Inspiring YOU to live YOUR story
well
A monthly column by Tammy L. Dahl
July 2016
“An Introduction”
Our lives are a story! A great story has grand characters, from the
protagonists to the antagonists. It
often is marked by unexpected plot twists and turns that, I believe, are
designed to be the catalysts that ultimately bring personal
transformation. As we live out our
stories, we are taking a journey of discovery, where we become aware of who we
are, and also of who we are not.
We all struggle with many
elements of our stories. We all question
the purpose for our struggles at times and often feel pain along the pathway of
our personal journey. We all have
things we wished we could have done differently. Our minds never stop processing the
“could’ve, should’ve, would’ve” aspects of our stories. I also believe that most of us take
extravagant measures to hide the parts of our stories that cause us to be our
own worst enemy and our greatest critic!
If we have developed the belief that we have somehow failed, we
sometimes go into hiding. We endlessly
beat ourselves up in the proverbial battle-ground of our minds. What if you could change that? What if what you hide is really meant to be
seen, and actually provides the meaning and purpose behind the life you’re
living out?
My desire through this column is
to help you “Rock YOUR Story” as you journey through this adventure called
life. I want you to live a GREAT story!
We all need that someone who helps us discover what we’re passionate
about and what drives us. We also need
that someone who can help us navigate the unexpected twists and turns, and help
us interpret and re-evaluate those things we deem as “failures” and “mistakes!” In regards to mistakes, my husband says it
best…”a mistake in life is not a mistake, if you learn!” I encourage you to take what you have deemed
a mistake in your life, and re-conceptualize them as disguised opportunities! They are your life tools! What’s great about our life tools, is not
only do they help us, but they can help someone else! Author, Donald Miller says it best: “what
will the world miss if you don’t tell your story?”
Have you experienced a “plot
twist” recently? Do you feel stuck in
your story? Do you want to change
something about your story? Got
questions? Let’s talk…..
