Looking for Inspirational Stories?

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. Perhaps it gives a hint of direction. There could even be an outright moral. It doesnt really matter what name you give to this elusive quality; it is more important that the stories I tell possess it.
As a child I found deep meaning in inspirational stories. I heard similar stories from my mother and my grandfather. Once in a while, a teacher would tell a story that held profound meaning to me. I was surprised to find how memorable those stories were. The messages stuck in the memory, too. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Honesty is the best policy. Take time to smell the flowers. Give back to your community. Messages that made me who I am today.
I find myself using stories I heard long ago when I perform today. They have an ageless quality. The messages are as relevant now as they were long ago.
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. A listener can mull over inspirational stories. They give us something to consider. Something that points us a bit closer to our "true north." Something that offers a little perspective to life.
