I have spent a good amount of my time researching stories that offer listeners something more than simply a clever plot. Something that the listener can relate to. Maybe there is a message. Perhaps it gives a hint of direction. It might even state a moral. It doesnt really matter what name you give to this elusive quality; it is more important that the stories I tell possess it.
As a child I found deep meaning in inspirational stories. I heard similar stories from my mother and my grandfather. Occasionally a teacher would tell a story that meant a great deal to me. I was surprised to find how memorable those stories were. To this day I still remember and follow those messages. The Golden Rule. Honesty is the best policy. Take time to smell the flowers. Give back to your community. Messages that made me who I am today.
I find myself using stories I heard long ago when I perform today. The stories are ageless. The messages are as relevant now as they were long ago.
Whats so important about inspirational stories? For one thing, we experience a deluge of information and news on a daily basis. Second, the lives we live give us no breathing space to reflect. In the absence of time and reflection, we have precious little available insight to bring to current affairs. Here is the place for inspirational stories. Inspirational stories give listeners something to chew on. They give us something to consider. Something that helps us to find our personal "true north. Something that gives us perspective.
Looking for inspiration? You can find inspirational stories and more at www.jaystetzer.com. Go to the "Listen" page on the site and you will surely discover a number of stories with relevant messages. "The Egg Seller" and "Herschel and the Wedding" from the World Full of Stories CD are good examples of inspirational stories. "Service with a Smile" on my Parking in Manhattan CD offers the listener a great hidden lesson. I find that inspirational stories stick in the memory long after they are told. In fact, the inspirational stories I tell even inspire me!
The world of today is a fast moving, complex world. We all need a bit of "inner" direction to guide us as we cruise down the highway of life. Inspirational stories help keep us on the road. Think of them as your own personal GPS! Theres a wealth of inspirational stories available on all of my recordings. Check them out! Related Topics Stories for children - Story -
