Chapter 36. The Importance of Telling Our Stories So this is the story of my journey. My journey towards embracing a positive attitude to life, to our differences, and to the world in general. I have chosen to tell my story in the hope that it will inspire others, and I hope that more people do this too.
I am grateful to the stories of other people, and their life journeys, for inspiring me over the years, and getting me through hard times. Such stories have reached me via various mediums, including books, movies, television, social media, conversation with friends, and more. Life is interesting, and what we learn from it can be unexpected. I wish to contribute to the vast pool of stories already out there, in the hope that one day, my story could be useful to another person out there, who needs a bit of inspiration. 257
