You might remember a couple of blog entries ago that I talked about getting my new coaching clients to write their life story.  It is a powerful tool for reflection, insight and identification of trends.  It is a very privileged window into the worlds of extraordinary people.  The truth is, each and everyone of you reading this are also extraordinary.  No matter how mundane you might think your day has been, there are no doubt a whole series of wonderful things that you have just happened, perhaps things you might have taken for granted.   

If you haven't yet had the opportunity to write your life story, then take a couple of hours to sit down and do it.  You will discover some interesting things about you, your world and how you view things.  Most people are truly amazed at how much they have achieved without a great deal of planning.  Things just seemed to happen somehow.  Imagine then brining a new level of consciousness to your future story!  You can move from writing your life story to righting your life story.  You see the thing is this - you have an opportunity each and every day to decide what will will be written on your pages.  You are the creator of your own story.  How do you want it to be?  What do you want to read about yourself in 6 month's time or a year or in 10 years? 

Now if you have been carrying a hard-luck story round with you and it hasn't got you very far, it is time to change your fortune with something far more inspiring.  The great thing about everybody that I ever meet in a working capacity is that they know what inspiration feels like, looks like or sounds like, or they know somebody who inspires them.  Imagine that you are writing your auto biography every day.  What do you need to do each day to remind you of this exciting opportunity?  Remember, everyday you have a chance to write your story the way you want it to be told.  The future is already present in your mind - make it a great one!
