"What's your story?"


When I speak to groups, I always get this question. Almost weekly in my email, I get this question. As I’m coaching a business person or couple, I get this question—"How do you come up with all of those stories?"

My response is standard—"I listen to my life. And so can you."

You see, they’re not just stories. They’re more like spiritual windows to heaven that are thrown open on our world, but you have listen for them going up to catch what’s going on. And this listening to life can be learned and you can learn it, too.

One of the fun activities I have some of my coaching clients do is to write down their experiences when they see or hear or run into God somewhere in life. There is just something special about writing it down. Writing forces you to process the experience because you have to choose words to describe it. And this process makes you slow down long enough to make a life.

So listen to your life and make a life, not just a living by writing down your experiences with God. Then share them and watch them grow!
