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. There could even be an outright 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. Both my mother and my grandfather told similar stories. 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. There is no substitute for honesty. Take time to smell the flowers. Community giving is part of community living. I am who I am because of those messages.
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.
Why seek out inspirational stories? First, consider the barrage of daily news and information. Next, we live lives that leave no room for reflection. 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 points us a bit closer to our "true north." Something that gives us perspective.
Care for some inspiration? At www.jaystetzer.com you can find memorable inspirational stories. On the "Listen" page of my website, click any one of the story samples and you are likely to find a message worth your time. 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. Long after they are told, inspirational stories stay in the memory. I am even inspired by the inspirational stories I tell!
We live in a complex, fast moving 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. Like having your own spiritual GPS! My recordings contain a wealth of inspirational stories. Listen for yourself!
