If you can answer the following four simple questions then you are a great candidate for being the next APTW HERstory:
- WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO ASPIRE?
- WHAT WAS YOUR SECRET TO SUCCESS?
- HOW HAVE YOU MAINTAINED YOUR MOTIVATION DURING THIS PROCESS?
- WHAT’S NEXT?
So many people shy away from writing their story mainly for two reasons:
- They don’t think that they actually HAVE a story to tell.
- They don’t think that they are actually successful enough and compare themselves to the other stories on the board.
Well, I am here to tell you that you are probably wrong on BOTH accounts! Everyone who decides to join APTW has a story as to why they did so as well as to why they continue to show up each week to work toward becoming a better version of themselves. Does your story have to be exciting?…NOPE! Does your story have to be one of major transformation?…NOPE! But your story does need to be genuinely yours and speak to why YOU and only YOU are on the journey that you walk each day.
Your story is one that only you can tell because nobody else can live it the way that you do. Yes, others can have similar stories but until they “lunge a mile in your shoes” they will NEVER know what you have endured to get where you have gotten. No, your story is not finished as we are all “Works in Progress” and will forever be “Under Construction” as long as we are breathing and willing to put in the work.
But even while we are working on ourselves we can still inspire and motivate at least one other person to take that first step to making themselves better. But that inspiration or motivation doesn’t take shape until you get your story on paper and share it with the world.
