I attended a conference a few weeks ago. The speaker was Bill Bensley, a renowned American landscape architect, architect, and interior designer who has designed over 200 hospitality projects in 50 countries. He divided his life being a landscape architect, architect, interior designer, developer, philanthropist, artist… It was an amazing story to tell how Bill arrived to become who he is not.

I believe everyone will have a story to tell. Maybe we are too stretched by our work. Or, people around us force us to forget what we have done, and why we did something. They want us to focus on something they want to get from us.

Self-reflection is an unsegregated part of growth and improvement. We have to learn to tell our story, by different boxes.

We all have different boxes. We all have a story to tell. By digging out all our past, the decisions made, people met, we can tell our story.

Everyone can tell their own stories to their loved ones and future generations.

You can tell your story to find out your next steps, to people that you can work with or work for in the next career arena, you can connect with your loved ones by understanding more about who you are, you can use your own story to help other that still in a loss and still looking for what’s next. You can combine other's stories to tell a bigger story, with a common theme, and a common purpose.

The first step is to learn how to tell your story.
