When I was a child, I loved being told stories.
Hearing from my parents about the superheroes
that fought the bad guys and saved the day would
always put me to sleep. I constantly dreamed
about having a cape of my own and flying through
the clouds to save the world. I would indulge in
my false reality until the obnoxious screech from
my alarm clock would abruptly end my
impersonation of the superhero I was told about,
forcing me to get ready to catch the school bus.
Stories can help us see reality in a new light
and inspire us to attempt to be just like the
characters we hear about. As an adult, stories
still inspire me to try to be like the
protagonist of the tale. Even though our
superheroes may not have super strength or the
ability to fly, they inspire us to be better
people today. Whether I heard it from others in
my life or opened my ears to a character on one
of my favorite television shows, I have heard a
few inspirational short stories about life that
motivate me to be a better and stronger person
every day.

The Joking Man A wise man worked with a team of
people who would cry and complain about the same
problems constantly. Then came a time where
instead of just hearing them fuss, he cracked a
joke that sent the whole room into a frenzy of
laughter. Shortly after the reaction from the
mans witty joke ended, he repeated the same
joke. Only a few people would smile at the mans
repeated act. The wise man would then repeat the
joke for a third time. The group responded with
no reaction. The man smiled and told the group,
You didnt laugh at my joke more than once. So
what are you getting out of complaining about the
same problem more than once?

The Moral The man used the joke as an analogy
for how his team constantly complained about the
same issues. Just like how someone should not
expect others to laugh at the same jokes, people
should not expect problems to get solved by
constantly expressing their scorn for them.
Complaining about the same problem more than once
is not progressive. Instead, focus your efforts
on finding a way to tackle and solve your
problems. The Rock In The Road There was a road
to a kingdom, and in the middle of that road, was
a large rock. People would just avoid the rock,
but horses would break their legs on it and wagon
wheels would get knocked off. People would lose
the goods they would come to the kingdom to sell.
That's what happened to a little girl. A
casquette of beer her family brewed fell right
off and broke, dirt soaked it all up and was
gone. That was her familys last chance. They
were hungry and didn't have any money.

The girl broke down and started crying, but she
wondered why it was still there. For it to hurt
someone else. So she dug out that rock on the
road with her hands until they bled. The girl
used everything she had to pull it out after
hours of digging. When she was going to fill up
the hole she saw something at the bottom, it was
a bag of gold. The king had placed that rock on
the road because he knew the person who dug it
out and helped others deserved a reward. They
deserved to have their life changed for the good
forever. The Moral This story was told by Rick
Grimes in the famous Walking Dead television
series in an attempt to inspire King Ezekiel to
help Ricks coalition fight for freedom. The
moral speaks to being rewarded for committing
selfless acts. The girl and her family had lost
everything they had, but instead of worrying
about herself, she worried about others running
into the same fate as hers. Always thinking of
your own well-being may be easier, but the more
difficult and more rewarding task is worrying
about the well-being of others.

The Hundred-Dollar Bill A speaker began her
seminar by holding up a 100 bill. A crowd of
1000 people came to hear her speak. She asked the
crowd, Who wants this 100 bill? 1000 hands
went up. She said, One of you can have it but
first, let me do this. She pulled out a pen and
scribbled on the bill. The speaker asked again,
Who wants this 100 bill? All 1000 hands went
back up. Well, she replied, What if I do
this? Then she placed the bill on the floor and
jumped on it with her shoes over and over
again. She picked it up, showed it to the crowd,
and asked for a final time. Do I still have any
takers on this?

Again, there was no shortage of raised
hands. Everyone, do you understand what I am
showing you here? This bill did not decrease in
value no matter what I just put it through. The
same goes for all of you. Life will kick you down
sometimes and jump on you over and over again.
Whether we make dumb choices or we are a victim
of what happens to us. You may feel beat up but
your value will never dwindle. Know your value
and dont let anything or anyone make you feel
like you are less than that! The
Moral Knowing your self-worth is an important
trait that everyone needs to equip. Some forget
their value due to past events that have had a
negative impact on their life, but just like that
beat-up 100 bill, your value does not change
because those things have happened to you.
Surround yourself with those who make you feel
valuable because every person is unique and
special, no matter who you are.
