Inspirational Stories Inspire!
12/16/08
My research into stories in the past few years have uncovered a number of stories that go well beyond a clever plot to amuse my listeners. They hint at a direction, or perhaps a meaningful message. They could even suggest a moral. It does not really matter what name you give to this elusive quality. To me, the significance is that the stories I tell have it. I call them inspirational stories.
A listener can chew on the messages of inspirational stories. They can mull it over long after they heard the story. As a result, their internal compass points a bit closer to "true north."
Go to the "Listen" page of my website. Click any one of the story samples and you are likely to find a message worth your time. I find that inspirational stories stick in the memory long after they're told. The fact is, inspirational stories actually inspire everybody, even the storyteller!
As we travel along the highway of life in this fast moving, complex world, we can all use a little "inner" direction. The twists and turns can be dizzying and confounding. Inspirational stories help keep us on the road. It is like having your very own GPS. There is a wealth of inspirational stories available on all of my recordings. Listen for yourself! World stories.
