Yesterday I heard Don Miller who wrote a book called, “A Million Miles, a Thousand Hours. He speaks about what would the world miss if you were to die? He also stated we grow from places of conflict and that there are times when we have to lose greatly in order to gain.
As I look back, I can see where my greatest gains came with my greatest losses, and where I grew up.
The question of what would the world lose if you were to leave now, intrigues me.
What dreams or aspirations would be left undone?
Who would not be helped if you were to leave now?
He relates our lives to stories, and how we are the main character, and it is up to us to keep the story interesting or at least keep our character interesting.
What draws you into a good story? Maybe the same type of character is who you desire to be.
As the story of me continues, who will become, what lessons are still to be learned, what places of fear or weakness do I still have to conquer?
What can I do today to make my life more interesting, to affect others, to add something that is needed?
There are certain things or avenues we can pursue that will have great changes on us as the main character. Don’t you love to read about a person who stretches of the box, who takes a leap of faith, who even if afraid jumps anyway!
Overcoming the blocks that keep us in a humdrum existence, to expand yourself by adding a new skill or maybe even by doing something unusual for you.
How to be a great main character…..imagine it, dream of it, and then dare to take the first step!
Who would you be if you were pushing the pen writing the story of you?
