Autobiography

My new challenge for today came to me a few nights ago when I was browsing through an autobiography section in a used book store. I always find myself drawn to this genre, particularly because I'm fascinated by the details that make each one of us so unique. I am always encouraged by the journeys and choices that put all those characters on paper. I have never read two stories similar and I love that kind of truth (if in fact it is) professed in media. The raw beauty and ugliness found in those pages has undoubtably inspired many of us at some point in our lives. So, back to the challenge...I think it would be an amazing thing if we all LIVED as though at some point in our lives we had to print in black and white the many details that have brought us to the present. Achievements, mistakes, loves, losses and disapointments. Would you change yourself physically? Would you talk to someone differently? Maybe you would candy coat certain issues and make yourself much more likable or successful. If this be the case why do you feel the need to do so? As an exercise I encourage you to write or at least think through what the pages of your story would entail. Who knows maybe someday you will inspire a random girl in a used bookstore...
