Fresh 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.

Celebrate your moment and allow others to do the same. A boy was hyper happy commenting about trees that were traveling in the opposite direction while they were heading home with his father. The couple sited opposite was not impressed and instead recommended that he sees a doctor. Shock on their faces when the father informed them that the boy was coming from a surgery and was excited to see trees for the first time. People are quick to judge and bring down people. You have no idea what that moment or experience means to such a person.

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.

The elephant and a rope. An elephant trainer had used a thick rope to tie the elephant for years such that it could not move. When the tough rope was removed and a weak string tied to the legs, the elephant remained tied to the spot yet it could go free. The lesson is not to remain tied by challenges of the past that you can overcome easily.

Hot water hardening eggs while softening potatoes. When hot water boils an egg, it makes it hard. When the same hot water acts on a potato, it gets soft. The reaction you give to a challenge will determine how well you survive. One person will come out top from the same situation while another is beaten. Be positive when looking at different situations.

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.

You can also use the stories of people who have built empires after years of struggle or after overcoming some of the toughest situations. The message can apply to different situations and inspire a person who is seriously discouraged. Life becomes bearable and there is hope for a better tomorrow.
