Why We Love Superhero Origin Stories

I could find out when your life began by asking your birthday, but it wouldn’t tell me anything meaningful about you. Only surface information.

If I asked a different question though, I might find out a lot: Where did the story of your life begin?

Our lives start when we’re born. Our stories start when something meaningful happens to us, by chance or by choice, that alters the course of our future.

So here you are. You’ve reached this point in your story. Look back now, if just for a moment.

Where did the story of your life begin? What did it do for you? Who did it shape you into? How did it contribute to your story now?

Everything is training for something. Do the work.
