If You Don't Write Your Autobiography - Nobody Will!
by Robert Brady
Philadelphia is the birthplace of our Constitution. A visit there is inspiring. One can see our monetary system in action, the Liberty Bell, and walk the halls of those who wrote and signed the Constitution.
A little known place is the Independence Living History Center. Here archaeologists sift through large quantities of artifacts, unearthed at National Constitution, in hopes of gathering clues into the lives of those who lived in that historic time.
When I asked the guide what they were doing with all of these relics, he said, "History books are written about people like Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. Nobody's going to write a book about us. So, we're left to piece together the histories of people like us."
Is the richness of your life found in your garbage?
Do you know where a lot of these artifacts were found? They were found in the colonists' version of the trash. I don't know about you, but I'm sure that I don't want my history to be reconstructed from trash.
The truth
Chances are slim that anyone will write a book about me. I don't want anyone writing my history but me. I especially don't want a historian reconstructing my history from the items he finds in my trash!
Tell Your Story
Every life has a story. Your life is a worthwhile story. Preserve it. Pass it on.
Writing your autobiography is daunting. It's especially tough to do it on your own.
Don't Be Frightened
Just start writing.
Ideas will come to you.
Believe me - the story you tell will be much more interesting than the story conveyed by your garbage!
Before you begin creating your autobiography, be sure to get assistance from Robert Brady's site on Writing an Autobiography and the characteristics of an autobiography. Don't reprint this exact article. Instead, reprint a free unique content version of this same article.
