I want you to start writing a novel. The novel is your life and you are the hero/heroine. You may be quarter way through, half-way through or even more.
What has happened so far? What is going to happen in the next chapter? Have you mapped an outline for the rest of the book?
Try to make it an interesting read. Assume it will be a happy ending after you have risen to the challenges that life has thrown at you.
Surprise the reader. The first half of the book may indicate a certain pattern of failure and weakness. The reader starts to think “oh god, this guy/gal is doomed to fail.” but you have some interesting material in store for the later chapters. The reader will go away thinking “wow, I never thought that could possibly happen! What a story! Inspirational!”
