Story telling to get you moving...

Could your story be here in years to come?

The whole world is a stage.

Your life is a story,

We all have a book in us.

I am sure you have all heard these phrases even if not all of them.

Well, I am pretty sure they are all true. You would not have biographies if it wasn’t, would you.

Now if your life is a story could you write it out in your actions, letting others record it for you?

What act are you currently in?

Is it act 1 where you’re starting out?

Or act 2 where the plot evolves?

Are you ready for your 3rd act, where you bring the threads together?

This principle, I find useful in thinking about what I do in lots of contexts. Am I creating a short story, is this a bigger novel or even a series of books? If I am feeling stuck, it also works as I ask myself how I get to act 3 and get an outcome I would be happy with (realistically that might be the best I can get at that time).

And you’ve always the epilogue to wrap up any loose ends.
