The Ordinary Extraordinary

Own Your Story, Your Truth

Own your truth, your story

Own your truth. Own your story.

All of it, every part of it! ⁠
You are unique, you are beautiful and you are you! There is no one else like you in this whole wide world. ⁠That uniqueness is your superpower.⁠

I was a little girl born in a small village in India.  It was the most carefree, loving, and ideal childhood for a little girl. At the age of 10 I got on a plane with my family and we landed in this beautiful land called Canada. ⁠

It is my parents’ farsightedness and courage (to move to a new country in their 40s) that I am forever grateful for. ⁠

The land that shaped my childhood and its core values and the land that gave me immense opportunity and freedom, I will always hold both dear. ⁠

⁠For all of God’s blessings I am thankful and by all the lessons I am humbled. I accept and own every part of my story. ⁠

I may not have control over what happens to me but I do have control over how I respond to what happens to me.⁠ I pledge to respond by honouring myself and my truth. That is how I shape my story. That is how I own my story! ⁠

What is your story? ⁠⁠

Poem about owning your truth and story
Let us not be afraid to own our truth.

    What a nice melding of cultures! My father’s family is from Canada, and I embrace that side of my heritage. I like this post; very wise and thought-provoking. Thank you!
