What's Your Story from 2008?
Over the past year, I've had an increasing interest in the power of story. It's a form of communication that helps us connect on an emotional level. As such, it also helps us remember events in more detail. Think about your oldest memories -- most of them are stories, not just random sounds and images.
As we move into the new year, this is a great time to reflect on the events of 2008. As you do so, consider this: what were the stories that defined 2008 for you? What were the events that shaped your life for years to come? What happened in 2008 that you will tell your children? Or your future customers, employees and investors?
Capture those stories while they're fresh in your memory. Record them in a blog, or just in a document if you don't have a blog. Feel free to share your stories (or a link to them) in a comment below or start a new discussion in our Entrepreneurs Forum.
Looking for some inspiration? Here are some of the stories I've collected over the past few months from readers:

Hi Scott… Thanks for the great post. This is SO true!
As I reflect on 2008, I’ve found that the real magic in the “story” is not what happened, but what I choose to make those “circumstances” mean. It’s my story, so why not be the hero, right??
Love and blessings to you in 2009!
