Captivating Stories Of Hope And Inspiration

By Thomas Bennett


There is power in a story but all stories are not equal. There are classic stories of hope and inspiration that enable readers or an audience to maintain their high spirits as well as face the daunting challenges that exist in life. Here are a few stories that will inspire any reader and give a person greater hope for tomorrow.

You have a unique story, and everyone too. A boy traveling on a train kept commenting about the trees moving backwards and skies following them. A couple that sat opposite was annoyed and kept begging the father to take the kid to a doctor or shut him up. Unknown to the couple, the boy had been blind and was returning from a surgery. He was fascinated to see the first time. Let us allow other people to enjoy their moments because we do not know what it means to them.

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.

Hot water effect on eggs and potatoes. A father tasked his son to boil a potato and an egg for 20 minutes. The egg got hard but the potato got soft. This indicates that the same situation can made your life easy or difficult based on your nature and how you take it.

Folding a 100 dollar bill. A speaker took a 100 dollars bill and asked how much it was worth to an audience. Everyone could recognize it. He folded it and asked how much it was worth. The audience answered 100 dollars. He answered, no matter what you go through, your value never changes.

Bank account. What would you do with a bank account with 86,400 dollars? What if you spent this amount and it was replenished on daily basis? 86,400 is the number of seconds you have every day. That is how valuable you are to make a difference in your life and that of people around you.

Beyond the hypothetical stories, there are experiences of people who have overcome the most taxing challenges. There is always a message of encouragement in these stories. They make life bearable for a lot of people facing very difficult challenges.
