When we decide to commit to the journey, we know that there are a lot of special things that we are going to experience. The longer we are on the journey the more interesting the learnings and unique experiences that we will have. And with just a bit of effort, we can turn our experiences into stories. Whether intentional or unintentional, the stories are the narratives we assemble doing what we do. It is the narrative that makes them interesting. We love stories because they boost our feelings of things like trust, compassion, and empathy. A story positively influences our social behavior. Because of this, stories have a unique ability to build connections. And thus, we need to make it important to tell our stories and to listen to the stories of others. Let’s enjoy, the story is who we are, yes indeed.
