No Struggle, No Story0

Would anyone watch a film or read the book about the story you’re living right now? Not what you did in the past. Not what you hope to do someday (I hate that word). I’m talking right here, right now. Is there something compelling that would cause others to lean in and wonder, “what’s going to happen next?”

Let’s face it, no one cares about a story of a guy reclining in a chair eating Cheetos day in and day out. (Unless the chair has magical flying powers in which to defeat alien invaders and save planet Earth from destruction). We want to experience tales that move us. With a hero to root for and a clear goal for them to shoot for.

Will there be obstacles along the way? Absolutely. But that’s par for the course. No struggle, no story. But you must get up and go. You can’t wait for someone to do it for you.

So what’s your story right now? What’s the wall you need to break through? What’s the difference you need to make?

Perhaps it’s an endeavor you need to begin. Maybe it’s a relationship that needs to be repaired. It could be a project you need to finish.  Whatever it is, have the courage and grit to take a step forward. Just one step. You can do this!

After all, that’s what hero’s do.
