I was first introduced to the idea of inciting incidents in Donald Miller’s brilliant book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. In fact, that’s what inspired me to take Robert McKee’s Story Seminar. As an offshoot of that book, Don started a company called Storyline, and I love its mission: to help people tell better stories with their lives.
Are you living your life in a way that is worth telling stories about?”
“That punch line punctuates Don’s life. It put a period on his feelings of incompetence and began a new sentence, a new chapter in his life.
God wants to write His story through your life. And if you give Him complete editorial control, He’ll write an epic. Of course, it’ll involve some epic conflict. But the God who began a good work in you will carry it to completion, even if it takes eighteen generations!
Telling a better story with your life begins with identifying the inciting incidents in your past. That’s your backstory. Then you start creating incidents with intentionality. That’s the rest of the story.”
“Don’t accumulate possessions; accumulate experiences.”
“It’s more than a story; it’s a storyline.
Are you living your life in a way that is worth telling stories about?”
“The sad reality is that most people spend their lives accumulating the wrong things. Instead of accumulating experiences, they accumulate possessions. And when that’s your objective, you end up possessed by your possessions. You don’t own them; they own you.”
