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. Call it a message. It might give the listener a suggestion of a new direction. It might even state a moral. The name one might give to this ephemeral quality is not as important as the fact that the stories I tell actually possess it.
As a child I found deep meaning in inspirational stories. I heard similar stories from my mother and my grandfather. Once in a while, a teacher would tell a story that held profound meaning to me. I noticed that stories with a message stuck in my memory. The messages stuck in the memory, too. 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.
Today I tell many of the stories I heard as a child. The stories are ageless. The messages are as relevant now as they were long ago.
Why seek out 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. And without time to reflect, how can we develop insight into the affairs of the day? Here is the place for inspirational stories. A listener can mull over inspirational stories. They give us something to consider. Something that helps us to find our personal "true north. Something that offers a little perspective to life.
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. Two good examples of inspirational stories are "The Egg Seller" and "Herschel and the Wedding" from my CD World Full of Stories. From the CD Parking in Manhattan, "Service with a Smile" brings a great message to the listener. I find that inspirational stories stick in the memory long after they are told. I am even inspired by the inspirational stories I tell!
We live in a complex, fast moving world. As we head on down the highway of life, we can all use a little direction to guide us. Inspirational stories can help us in our travels. Think of them as your own personal GPS! Theres a wealth of inspirational stories available on all of my recordings. Check them out!
