When Your Last Story Has Been Told

Let’s assume for the moment that you are intrigued by the notion of telling your stories. You love stories. Always have.

So you begin thinking about your many memorable moments of truth and begin writing them down — at least the titles, that is.

The more titles you write, the more stories you remember — cool experiences from your childhood, travels, relationships, work, quest for meaning, accidents, visions, breakthroughs, synchronicities, near death experiences, strange lights in the sky, and so on.

Let’s say you top out at 85 titles.

But let’s take it one step further. Let’s say you actually write your stories. But not just write them — you also tell them until every story in your stranger-than-fiction life has been told.

You could, of course, choose to tell each story again to other people in other ways. You could turn them into screenplays, novels, blog posts, songs, sitcoms, workbooks, iPhone apps, Broadway shows, or webinars.

But you don’t. You feel complete, every story in you having been told.
