Thursday transformational storytelling.

Due to the engagement and wonderful feedback received on A Journey Of Inner Transformation, I figured all of you enjoy stories filled with wisdom, stories that trigger reflection and are thought provoking. Both your comments and articles written in response to it were insightful, creative and managed to capture the reader’s interest because of how differently each of you approached it, offering a variety of perspectives.

Thank you for taking this type of challenges on board. I thought, since storytelling is received so well that it should become another weekly thing. Of course, it is not mandatory and I encourage you to engage only if what I share resonates. I will create a new section on the publication with the tag “Storytelling”, where both the story “prompts” and your response articles will show up (just make sure you use the tag before submitting).

I will also be tagging different contributors each week to encourage engagement, but that doesn’t mean you can’t/shouldn’t submit something if you haven’t been mentioned. The purpose is to continue building and growing a community where we interact, share, clap, respond, support and lift each other up.

With that being said, let’s get into this week’s story!

Chapter five:

I walk down another street.

Thoughts? Opinions? I’m really curious. It made me laugh initially, then it upset me because I recognized and identified patterns in my life for which this story is an accurate, great analogy.
