One enormous benefit of writing your personal history and that of others dear to you is that it provides you with a perspective of life, and a sense of gratitude for all the blessings that you've been able to enjoy.  

Today, the subject of this episode is an entirely different dimension of Becoming Your Best. It very much relates because, of course, we want to become our best across the various roles in life - and family is a big role. This one is about writing or recording your personal life history while capturing and preserving the stories of your life and perhaps others dear to you, for your posterity, friends and family, for the vast majority, including future generations you may not now know but one day will! 

These are family legends that are told from one generation to the next - and they live on in so many ways, and weave into our lives a tapestry of depth, color, strength, humor, inspiration, meaning, connection, and vibrancy. And unless these stories are written down with time, they will be lost. 

Listen to Episode 243 of Becoming Your Best, to find out how you can begin to write your personal story, as well as the ones of your relatives so that the future generations can learn and be inspired by your life’s legacy.
