We all go through tough times in our lives where we’ve felt lost, stuck, alone or event feeling life is unfair. All experiences are unique and bring different lessons and situations; therefore, each story is invaluable. UNLOCKURSELF: the power of your story™ can help you understand the lessons learned and guide you how to implement them to your own life. Many people can be neglectful of their own life story and more fearful in sharing it with others, but once you accept your story it can be turned into a power-tool towards your personal goal(s). Let me tell you how. Stories help convey meaning and purpose that will help you understand yourself better. Through storytelling, we share passions, fears, sadness, hardships, joys, but most importantly lessons that help us find common ground with with people or situations, so that we can connect and communicate with them more easily. Simply, stories teach us about life. 

There is a way out of life’s struggles. This I do promise you. But it starts with you accepting to take the first step towards your success, to take action to change your mindset. As my father once helped me to change my definition of success with using storytelling we hope you find your definition of success too.

[“True success can never be achieved alone; you need friends and family. True success is not measured by money. It is measured by the people you surround yourself with. And the failures and obstacles you have overcome is what determines you; not your wins. But it all starts by making the decision to take the first step up, going up the ladder and working hard to keep hanging on, taking one step at a time slowly moving up. I am richer than kings. I have lived life. I have cried and laughed. I have inspired a loving family. You are my fruit. I have given all to you from my heart and sweat. I love what I do for work; never pressured. I am my own boss. I owe nothing to know one. I sleep peacefully every night. Yes, kings envy to have what I have attained: I am happy”] -my father, J. G. Manuel Castillo Rangel.

Remember, as one of the oldest phrases says, “show me your friends and I will show you your future.” - King Solomon (known as the wisest King in the Bible). Biblical or not, I'm sure most if not all successful person will agree with that this statement and that it holds true both in life and in business. As businesses depend on good partnerships for profits; people depend on good friends for support and advancement. If you value this idea as all successful and wealthy individuals do, consider UNLOCKURSELF as a “guiding friend” that fits in your back pocket; ready to be tapped when needed.
