Excerpt by Sharon Salzberg from "Finding Your Way: Meditations, Thoughts, and Wisdom for Living an Authentic Life":
"Own Your Story –
To me, having the courage to tell your own story goes hand in hand with having the curiosity and humility to listen to others’ stories. —Sarah Kay
Even if others don’t consciously intend to harm us, if they are telling the story of who we are instead of our telling it, their careless disregard or easy assumptions about us can be demeaning. We are all too often told we are too old, too young, too different, too much the same. Each of us can probably recall being misunderstood, overlooked, seemingly filed away under some category. To reclaim our own story is to reclaim our own bigger, more vibrant, more expansive potential, which no one can take away from us. When we feel confidence in our ability to live our own story, we have less to hide. This opens the door to taking a genuine interest in others, to want to more truly see them.”
