We all have a story. But too often, we let others write our narrative for us. Early life experiences, trauma, and societal expectations can leave lasting impressions, shaping our view. However, it’s crucial to remember that you are the author of your own story. You can rewrite the narrative and create a purpose, joy, and fulfilment-filled life.
At Strategic Achievement Coaching, we believe in the transformative power of taking control of your own story. Dr. Carol McGowan, founder of Strategic Achievement Coaching, often says,
“Do not judge my story based on the chapter you walked in on.”
The Power of Resoluteness
One of the key concepts Dr. McGowan discovered in her doctoral research is resoluteness. This is the dogged determination to continue despite the odds. While resilience is often talked about, resoluteness is the secret ingredient that provides the spirit to keep going, no matter what.
Overcoming challenges and rewriting your story isn’t easy. It requires two essential components:
1. A reliable support crew
2. Belief in a higher purpose (spiritual belief or practice)
The goal is to achieve Posttraumatic Growth, a psychological concept that explains how people can experience positive transformation following adversity. It’s not an easy process, but with the right mindset and support, it’s possible to grow and thrive.
