Nobody Else Will Write Your Autobiography So You Must!

By: Robert Brady In 2006, my family and I traveled Philadelphia to visit the birthplace of the Constitution. Naturally, the visit inspired us. We witnessed the long conveyor belts of newly minted coins at the U.S. Mint; we saw the Liberty Bell's crack (which, incidentally, was caused when trying to fix a larger crack); and we walked the footsteps of the Founding Fathers at Independence Square.

To me, the most inspiring place was a little museum called the Independence Living History Center. The archaeologists there sift through artifacts gathered from sites nearby. The archaeologists tried to decipher what the artifacts told them about the lives of early Americans.

When I asked the guide what they were doing with all of these relics, he said, "History books are written about people like Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. Nobody's going to write a book about us. So, we're left to piece together the histories of people like us."

The archaeologists reconstructed everyday-people's lives from trash!

The archaeologists had found the artifacts in the colonists' garbage. I'd rather write my own story instead of having a stranger try to reassemble it from my refuse.

The facts...

Chances are slim that anyone will write a book about me. I don't want anyone writing my history but me. I especially don't want a historian reconstructing my history from the items he finds in my trash!

You and I Have a Story Worth Telling

If you've lived a life, you've created a story. A worthwhile story. A story worth preserving. A story worth passing on.

Writing your autobiography is daunting. It's especially tough to do it on your own.

Don't Be Frightened

Just start writing.

Ideas will come to you.

Believe me - the story you tell will be much more interesting than the story conveyed by your garbage!
