"So, when you write your lifestory, make sure it is you who tells it. Tell it in the first person….Then you are in control, you are telling your story. You are not a victim of fate. You are not being controlled and directed. Your life has not been predetermined. It’s your story. You tell it."

- From The Power of Story: On Truth, the Trickster, and New Fictions for a New Era, pg. 58
