Your Story Is Your Strength
From the archive: originally published June 2013 on the Empower Network blog.
One day, after the world tried to tell me my past was my biggest liability, I showed them it was my greatest asset. And since that day, I’ve pushed all the limits, and broke all the rules. I’ve talked about things people say should stay “hush, hush”. I’ve confronted demons from my past and stood in the face of ridicule. And I’ve overcome the fear of judgement to step out on faith and reach down deep inside to tap into something I didn’t know was there. Courage.
Actually, here at Empower Network – we’ve all reached down deep inside in one way or another to discover something great about ourselves we didn’t know was there.
Tell your story my friend. Hold your head up high. And celebrate your past — good and ‘bad’ — while realizing you’re perfectly imperfect, and the world needs to hear what you have to say. Someone, somewhere, is dying (maybe even literally) to hear what you have to say, and it will change their life when you share with them who you really are, how you really feel, and what you’ve overcome — so they can realize they’re right where they need to be in their life and in their business.
