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. It might give the listener a suggestion of a new 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. The messages stuck in the memory, too. Treat others the way you want to be treated. 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.
Today I tell many of the stories I heard as a child. They have an ageless quality. The messages of long ago still have merit in the world today.
Why seek out inspirational stories? For one thing, we experience a deluge of information and news on a daily basis. 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 helps us to find our personal "true north. Something that offers a little perspective to life.

In fact, the inspirational stories I tell even inspire me!
