How Can You Create Inspirational Stories?

How Can You Create Inspirational Stories?

I love inspirational stories, don’t you?

I’ve got another one of them to bring a smile to your face…another story resulting from Brian’s encounters at the grocery store.

Would you like to know what happened?

OK, I’ll tell you.

As Brian meandered through the produce area of the grocery store, he came across an elderly woman checking out the bananas…and talking to herself.

When she noticed Brian, she said, “Hi, I’m sorry, I’m talking to myself. Hope you don’t mind“.

“No, I don’t mind,” replied Brian.

“Do you ever talk to yourself?” she asked.

And Brian replied, “Why of course I do! I think it’s great to talk to yourself!”

“I answer myself” said she.  Then she continued “Have you ever answered yourself?”

Brian’s answer was…

What Do Inspiring Quotes Do For You?

Remember in my last post I talked about using mantras to be more confident?

Did you try using mantras yet?

Or how about inspiring quotes?

I’m telling you… they work!

Not just for my friend, but for me, too!

So, here’s my story of how a mantra and an inspiring quote helped me.

Some weeks ago Brian and I attended Pat O’Bryan’s UnSeminar6 in San Antonio, Texas. Although I knew that I was meant to be there, Brian wasn’t sure about attending.

But when our hotel room number corresponded to his birthday, we knew he was supposed to be there.

Do you notice signs like that showing up in your life?

Anyway, during the seminar I got inspired by one of the unscheduled speakers, Martha Giffen, who said how easy it was to get interviews from the speakers.

Sometime later Joe Vitale took the stage and wowed the audience. I’m always amazed at what he continues to accomplish…and… can you believe it?

He was homeless for a number of years!

So, at dinner that night, Brian was wishing he’d asked Joe how he got out of being homeless.

How did Joe go from being homeless, friendless and feeling unloved by everyone, including himself?

My brain started thinking, “I wonder if music or lyrics played a role? Maybe Joe would let me interview him about that and maybe other speakers would, too.”

Would I get up the nerve to ask Joe?

Perhaps you need some inspiration.

What Spiritual Enlightenment Have You Experienced?

In a previous post, “What Can You Learn From a Cat About Life Happiness?” I mentioned that my daughter, Natalie, was run over by a pickup truck.

Here’s how it happened.

As Natalie rode eastward on her bicycle and from the sidewalk of busy Garnet Avenue in San Diego, California to cross a small street, she saw that she was about to be struck by a pickup truck. The truck had been westbound on Garnet Avenue before turning left onto that same side street.

When she saw the truck headed towards her, Natalie figured she’d be hit and then get up afterward and be okay.

But that was not to be the case.

The truck hit her bicycle…
