IN THE MOVIES, THE CHARACTERS OFTEN MAKE MISTAKES Big ones! Some recover from them and some don’t. We watch with great interest because we imagine being in the same situation. Why? Because we have. What makes a movie really good is when it mirrors reality. When it portrays the truth. When it identifies with our experiences. Especially when it inspires us to make a comeback. To fight back. To win. Let your own story inspire you and others. Start your journey of transformation today—get your copy of STORY and embrace the power of your narrative!
