We all have a life story. A personal account of all the important events, lesson learned, baby steps, knowledge, and experiences that have contributed to who we have become. Why we did or did not do certain things in our life good or bad. 

Life stories can give others a road map in what to expect in life and how to react and/or deal with different situations and opportunities.

"Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, the world can't remember who we were, what we were, where we have come from, and what we have gone through, or why we were here.  And the benefit of our knowledge and experiences for other is lost to time"-by Sue Monk Kidd modified by Martel A.
