Inspirational Stories Worth Listening To

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. There could even be an outright 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. 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. 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 of long ago still have merit in the world today.
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. This is where inspirational stories serve us well. 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.
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. In fact, the inspirational stories I tell even inspire me!
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! Theres a wealth of inspirational stories available on all of my recordings. Listen for yourself!.
