Recently I asked a critical question, how H.O.T are you.?

Some may have found the recent article speculative, but there was a lot to be gleaned by the end. As people who want to succeed on our own merits and obtain long-lasting success, authenticity is essential and being Humble, Open, and Transparent is a massive part of that.

The Story Within You.

Remember, all, contain a story inside of us. Some may contain short stories. Other’s contain poems, moving odes, and sonnets. A few of us have epics or copious novels. And those stories may be dark and tragic, while others may be profound and moving.

One thing is sure we all have a story. And that story is only yours to tell. Only you’ve been through those experiences. No one’s walked in your shoes, whether they be stilettos, sandals, or steel-toed boots. They are your shoes.

Being Vulnerable is Hard (Your Story is Key)

I understand it’s hard.

Sometimes your story may seem irrelevant. Vulnerability isn’t easy. But you can do this.

A Recent Experience

This week, I sat in on a virtual seminar hosted by an exceptional professional named Shawn Quintero. On day two, he said something that was gold. He said,

“Somewhere there is someone incredible out there waiting for you to show up.”

They are waiting for you to tell your story. Your story may change their lives. It could be the one to save countless lives.

“Someone out their incredible is waiting for you to share your story!” (Quintero)

Another Perspective on Telling Your Story

Les Brown is a fantastic orator, writer, and businessman. But, more than anything, he is a tremendous person. Brown shares so many powerful things in his book that he breathes life. That is the very meaning of inspiration.

Currently, I am reading his book The Greatness Within You!

Brown is right. Every one of us has greatness within. But we must dig deep. First, we must find our story. Then we tell it.

“Becoming successful in business is about marketing, and marketing is not about making stuff. Marketing is about telling your story (Brown 22)

This is super important.

It is too important to gloss over. I am sure you want to be successful or you wouldn’t be reading this.

You want to live a life of fulfillment, or you would’ve scrolled on after the first paragraph. But you didn’t.

“See you weren’t born to work for a living, but to live your making. And living your making will make your living!” – Les Brown.

Mufasa said to Simba, “You are more than that which you have become!”

Face it; you were born to do this!

So, let’s do this. I got your back.
