Remembering Memories
Do stories of others really influence us in our everyday lives? Absolutely. We are a collaboration of every storyline we have ever encountered. Movies, books, memories--they all define us. We are all engrained with ideals and thought processes derived from shared stories. So could hearing a parent's high school story actually change our lives? Yes, if we listen. We make connections with various stories and subconsciously discover patterns from the past in action in our own lives. The more we share with somebody about our lives, the more we trust them and vice versa. Naturally, sharing personal experiences with those we love will not only deepen our gratitude for them, but increase our love for them as well.
But don't take my word for it. Check out the research behind the logic.
