What is a Storyline? And Should You Have One?

Last week I ran into a guy at an airport who said that when he and his wife created their Storyline it was the highest point of their marriage. I wasn't surprised. Story is, after all, a sense-making device. Story helps us understand ourselves and others. It helps us realize where we've been and chart a path for where we'd like to go.

A Storyline is a life-mapping tool consisting of several modules, modules that help you understand yourself as a character, chart the positive and  negative turns in your life, anticipate and have a positive attitude about conflict and fuel your life with vision. Without story structure, our lives feel like they don't make sense. But when you've created your storyline, you're sitting in the theater of your mind, fully engaged in your own story. You're wondering what's going to happen next, because you know who the character is and where they'd like to go.
