Life Stories

I'm a sucker for life stories. Biographies, autobiographies, history, mystery, pain and heroism. Overcoming obstacles, making a name for yourself. I once sat for hours with a 63-year-old man as he recounted stories of his youth. I was entranced. What a life. What stories. What incredible love and adventure can be accumulated in 63 years.

SuperForest said the other day that "Over six billion stories are being told at once" and I was completely struck with the statement. Every person has a story and every one of them is worth being heard. SIX BILLION life stories are being written and told right now. Six billion different lives weaving and intertwining in countless combinations of relationship. Billions of peoples lives are being forever altered right this second; people are falling in love, meeting their new children, they are dying or holding loved ones as they move on from this earth. People are climbing mountains, fighting for their lives, deciding it's time to give up, reframing their mindsets. Right now they are changing, growing, improving. Six billion. Six billion potential future world changers, six billion possible CURRENT world changers.

We are at a turning point in history. Our generation no longer accepts the destruction of our earth, the discrimination of the weak or different, we refuse to believe that using war is going to solve our problems. We don't accept doing things they way they've been done in the past, because we've learned from those who walked this earth before us. How incredible to be among the six billion people sharing the world at this moment, our hearts beating the same as everyone elses, breathing the same oxygen, crying the same saltwater tears. It's impossible not to be in awe.

I am grateful for the lessons other have learned that help me to live my best life.
Thank you for living your story right now.
