Have you heard the saying, “The story is about you, but the book is about the reader"?
While the facts and circumstances of your life story form a mosaic unique to you, readers will connect with your shared human emotions.
“Human connections are deeply nurtured in the field of shared story.” - Jean Houston
You and your readers may live worlds apart, have different cultural or economic backgrounds, or even have lived during different eras, but the emotions of joy, fear, outrage, sadness, grief, hope, and triumph bridge gaps and cross chasms. Sharing on a personal level builds connections among people.
Writing your life story will benefit your readers, whether you know them or not. Sharing your life story allows others to tap into universal human emotions. You are creating connections on a more personal level. You are showing your readers that we are all part of a bigger whole.
