We all have a story. Each of us has a life full of joys, sorrows, ups, downs, elations and despairs. The person to the right and left of us has their own unique journey and a unique gifting for giving it a voice. Whether we are a passionate storyteller, musician, artist, writer or just a good friend who listens well and shares in return, we all have a voice for our story. These are just a few examples of the infinite ways our spiritual journey- our spiritual autobiography- can be offered to others. Everyone is wired to give their story(autobiography) a voice in a uniquely personal way that’s deeply spiritual, powerful and life changing.

Whenever you share your life it’s autobiographical. Whenever you reach deep within yourself to share you are unearthing the spiritual dimensions of your journey. When you comprehend how the autobiographical and spiritual meet you have defined spiritual autobiography for yourself. Now you just need to figure out why and how you will share it.

Why share your journey? It’s great that it might help others but, “What’s in it for you?” You might think this is a selfish question, but I think it’s an honest one that we each need to answer. At the heart of spiritual autobiography is the heart of an individual with needs, desires, wounds, hope, pain and passions. When a life story is shared it’s not just the recipient who grows, heals and finds hope. The storyteller finds that much growing, healing and encouragement is in it for them. Why share? Because you will learn, change, heal and find joy cialis buying as you find a voice for your spiritual journey. Others will benefit but so will you.

Once you decide that you want to offer your spiritual memoir to others you have another decision to make: how to offer it. Deciding how to give your spiritual autobiography a voice is challenging. People are often overwhelmed by the task: sharing your spiritual autobiography, or spiritual memoir, sounds daunting especially if you feel you must share “everything.” Think outside the box here: some people do choose to share their “memoir” from beginning to end but this is not necessary for the spiritual autobiographer.

You can share snippets from your life, focus on a particular day, hone in on a specific time period or share in chronological order from beginning to end: there are no rules here. What matters is sharing your Cialis story: not only autobiographically but spiritually. Make a commitment to find the spirituality of your journey and give it a voice. That’s all that’s required here.

I gave my spiritual journey a voice and I’d like to share my approach with you. It is my hope that my method will spark your imagination and reveal a direction for your own sharing. I’d also like to offer my reasons for telling my story in the way I chose to tell it. I won’t do this so that you will do what I have done. Instead, it is my hope that I will inspire you to reach deep and uncover passionate purposes and plans for becoming a spiritual autobiographer.

I used art and journaling to communicate and connect my story with the life stories of others. As I made art I wrote about my plans, purposes and passions for creating. I didn’t do this while considering myself a great artist or writer: many people blow me out of the water here. Greatness was not my goal. I created simply to let others know they are not alone: that my story was much like their story. I used several methods for connecting: publishing, Tadalis SX article writing, interviewing, speaking, blogging, social networking and talking with others. Today I am still pushing forward with my message using these same methods with wonderful results: people really do want to know they are not alone, they want to hear about the lives of others and they are very excited to share.

How will you share and how will you reach others with your own message? Answer this question by considering how you are uniquely wired. If you like to write perhaps you could start your own blog? Maybe you love to scrapbook and would like to use this passion to document your journey? If you’re an artist you could post your art, and your reasons for making your art, using SlideShare, Facebook or Twitter? Might it be time to keep your first journal or share some of the entries you have been keeping for decades? How about a autobiographical comic book, a musical memoir, or a photo documentary? If you don’t write poetry, but you love it, you could use your favorite poems as a launching point for reaching others. The possibilities are endless.

Remember that there are hidden rewards for sharing. As you open up to others you will find yourself opening up in ways you never thought possible. I was amazed to discover how my own spiritual storytelling healed me. I have become more intentional about making art, and writing about my art, as a means for soothing and regenerating my own soul. I make sure I continue to be a spiritual autobiographer because when I give away pieces of myself I find the pieces of myself being put back together. This is a wonderful surprise I believe you will find if you choose to share your journey. Discover how you are wired to give your story (autobiography) a voice in a uniquely personal way that’s deeply spiritual, sacred and life changing. Heal others and heal yourself: share your story.
