One of the biggest issues facing people who want to become messengers is thinking that they don’t have a story to tell.
They think that every story needs to be full of drama for people to get interested.
If this is you, I want you to change this way of thinking right now.
Here’s the thing…
Everybody has what I call life’s PhD.
It’s something that you have more experience with than others, which you need to share with the world.
For example, I never talked about being gay. I always thought it was unnecessary, a part of my identity that had nothing to do with business.
But then I realized that this is a place where many stories are born. I saw that it was my life’s PhD and the source of many messages I need to share.
Why is this?
Because it’s the source of my wound around belonging. It’s the biggest wound I have. And I know many other people have it as well.
Just like that, I found I could tell so many stories showing people that I know how they feel.
I could talk about abandonment, betrayal, love, and many other things that resonate with people.
It’s not a huge drama.
But it’s human.
And that’s what your story needs to be.
You don’t need to talk about something momentous or filled with breakthroughs. All you have to do is find your life’s PhD and share it with others. I can guarantee that there will always be someone who’s willing to listen.
At that point, it’s not a matter of whether you have a story anymore.
It’s about your willingness to share it.
You’ll see that you have so many stories to tell, and you only have to find a way to get through to others. Get a pen and paper and chronicle your stories. You’ll see that you have more to say than you might have thought.
