I am always on the lookout for stories that bring something more to listeners than a clever twist of plot. Something that listeners can take away from the story. Call it 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.
Even when I was growing up, I found myself deeply touched by 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 noticed that stories with a message stuck in my memory. To this day I still remember and follow those messages. The Golden Rule. Honesty is the best policy. Slow down and notice the things around you. Community giving is part of community living. Messages that made me who I am today.
I find myself using stories I heard long ago when I perform today. They have an ageless quality. 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 offers a little perspective to life.
Care for some inspiration? At www.jaystetzer.com you can find memorable inspirational stories. Go to the "Listen" page on the site and you will surely discover a number of stories with relevant messages. Two good examples of inspirational stories are "The Egg Seller" and "Herschel and the Wedding" from my CD World Full of Stories. "Service with a Smile" on my Parking in Manhattan CD offers the listener a great hidden lesson. Long after they are told, inspirational stories stay in the memory. I am even inspired by the inspirational stories I tell!
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 can help us in our travels.
