Taking Pride in Family Stories

Family Stories by Family Tree Video

Everyone loves a good story, especially good family stories. Whether it’s the hilarious adventures of an uncle’s misspent youth, heroic stories of valor or the struggles and triumphs of our grandparents during the Great Depression, family stories speak to us in a way that few others do. There is the sense that they are ours; they are personal to us in a way that others can’t appreciate or understand the nuances involved.

But when it comes to sharing our own stories, we often become unwilling to put ourselves in the spotlight. It may feel like bragging or that our experiences simply aren’t worth recounting – but this can’t be further from the truth.

Every one of us has a unique perspective and nobody has or will ever live the same life as anyone else. Preserving the way we’ve experienced the world is one of the most valuable gifts we can give to our children, grandchildren and generations to come.

Even if our stories aren’t about epic adventures or show monumental accomplishments, its important to take pride in the life we’ve lived and the experiences we have had. Even stories of every day life have a quiet strength about them, although often not immediately obvious to us.

What family stories do you recall hearing that had an impact on you? Which of your stories might impact on someone else? It’s not always easy to know how our experiences might resonate with someone else, so take the plunge knowing your experiences could be meaningful to another.

Even if you don’t feel like sharing your stories, remember to take pride in the rich tapestry of life’s wisdom and experiences: your story will never be the same as anyone else’s and should be celebrated and never forgotten.
