Life is a Journey full of Stories
Balance yours and be the Hero of your own
Humans create stories out of everything. The moment something happens to us, we immediately make a story out of it. By telling stories, we give sense and meaning to what we experience in our lives.
All these stories within us make us who we are, what we do and how we think of ourselves. They form our identity. This counts for individuals, but also for a team and an organization.
Stories enrich us and connect us
Stories empower us to have impact, so we can achieve what we dream of. They support us in being the hero’s of our own lives. They inspire to be who we want to be. Stories enrich us and connect us as human beings.
Stories hinder and divide us
At the same time can stories also disbalance us. They then hold us back in who we would like to be. Stories have the power to divide and polarize people. Stories create islands and ‘us-them’-thinking.
Most of the time we are not aware at all of the impact of stories we tell ourselves and eachother. We just take them for granted.
If you dive into your own stories, you’ll see how much wisdom is hidden in there. If you jump into the told and untold stories of your team and organisation you’ll get together in a great flow of energy.
