I have a shirt that says “My life. My choices. My mistakes. My lessons. Not your business. Mind your own problems before you talk about mine. My life is not your story to tell.”
It may sound a bit harsh but in reality it is a very true statement.
It is my life, my story, my business to share with those I chose to share it with, in my own words from my point of view - the author. As other people share those very personal moments of our life, they tend to put their own spin on things - their point of view. They tend to embellish, add or subtract things that are not necessarily correct.
It's one thing to share someone else's story to help another and possibly connect the two people so they can share and support one another. It is another thing to just blurt out other people's business to anyone that will listen while changing the connotation of the story with a tone of judgment.
Point to Ponder:
Remember this as you share other people stories and think of your own stories to share instead...
After living half a century, I have had my ups and downs.
I have lived, I have learned, I have loved and I have lost.
Finally, after many years, twists, turns, disappointments and discoveries, my life started to change direction.
Once that direction took root and I was establishing a new lifestyle, I was ready to teach others how to apply what had taken years to figure out - but I wanted to make it a shorter, easier, hopefully more enjoyable journey.
