Captivating Stories Of Hope And Inspiration

By Thomas Bennett


A story is powerful and its lessons are easy to understand. There are classic stories of hope and inspiration that can be told in different situations to encourage people to maintain a high spirit at all times. Take a look at these short narratives and the lessons they offer to reader or listeners.

Everyone has a unique story in life. It is said that a boy traveling with his father on a train was fascinated by the trees that seemed to be moving in the opposite direction. A couple traveling with them could not understand the excitement and recommended that he be taken to a doctor. What they did not know is that the father and son were returning from hospital and the boy could finally see. Let other people get excited and also enjoy your moment because the crowd does not understand what it has taken you to get there.

Do not be buried by your problems. A farmer set to bury his donkey because it was too difficult to get him out of the well. However, the donkey shook every spade of soil that fell on its back. This soil fell to its feet and eventually the donkey appeared at the top instead of being buried. The lesson is not to succumb to issues that appear too difficult in life. Rise above them and eventually you will see light.

A string and the huge elephant. Elephants are tamed with the use of huge strong ropes. However, over time, the ropes are abandoned. One elephant was tied to a plastic seat. It could move but the mentality was that it was still tied with the huge rope. This is the same case with many people. They are tied to old problems and mentalities but unknown to them, they can go free. It is time to recognize what binds you and go free.

The Egg, potato and hot water. A father boiled an egg and potato till they were cooked. He called the son and asked what he thought of the exercise and the son could not make out anything. The father explained that the same hot water that made an egg hard is the same that made the potato soft. Life will be hard or easy depending on what you take it to be.

The value of a folded 100 dollar bill. At a podium, a speaker asked who wanted a 100 dollar bill. Everyone raised his or her hand. When the speaker folded it once more, and asked the same question, the same number of people wanted the bill. The message from the story is that you are valuable despite the challenges that beat you up.

A bank account with 86,400 dollars. It would be exiting for anyone to get such a bank account. It gets better when you realize that this account is renewed on daily basis. Surprisingly, these are the seconds you get every morning. It is up to you to choose what to do with them and change your life.

There are many more stories about people in business, family and social life that can inspire people. As a speaker or writer, it is how you look at these narratives that will determine how well they apply to different situations. They provide remarkable inspiration to readers and listeners.
