874 - Sharing your story (why we all need to)

YouTube Sharing our personal experiences can have profound effects on others. One such effect is motivating them to take the kind of action that eventually leads to positive changes in their lives. It's really easy to say that people should just get motivated, it's even easier to tell them they need to go watch a motivational video or read a book, but the reality is it doesn't work that way. There are a number of things that contribute to an individual becoming motivated or losing motivation, but one of the most consistent ways to increase motivation is to borrow it from others. By sharing your story and journey, whether good or bad, you give people a valuable tool to help them manage their own motivation so that they can take the actions they need to. In addition to helping others navigate their motivation, it's also a great way to show that no one is ever truly alone. Whether we want to admit it or not, feeling like we are alone can make a common (yet no less frustrating) experience feel much much worse. By creating a culture of opening up about our situations, it allows others to recognize that their circumstances aren't as unique or strange as they may seem. This can boost confidence and self-esteem, allowing people to better tackle the challenges they face.
