Here's the truth about telling stories with your life. It's going to sound like a great idea, and you are going to get excited about it, and then when it comes time to do the work, you're not going to want to do it. People love to have lived a great story, but few people like the work it takes to make it happen. But joy costs pain... don't let your story get stolen by the easy life.
