Tell Them A Story

Tell Them A Story

Are you a writer or a speaker? This piece will help you. There is something spectacular about great Speakers, they always Communicate and much more than that they connect with their audience.

The secret to great communication is having a point of connection or a common point with your audience. This common point usually might not be a point of common agreement, infact, it might be a basis for disagreement but above all it brings the listener or reader to the’Why?s’ and ‘Whats?’ of your discussion.

One great way of connecting with your audience is to tell them a story, often times we wake up or we jerk back from wandering off in a meeting when the speaker shares a story.

The art of story-telling is one that has evolved all through the ages and it is one which you need to use to a very great advantage. Whether you are a professional speaker, a Religious Leader, a company executive or a classroom teacher, a few ideas are shared in this piece to help you get started.

Study Master-story tellers. The greatest speakers and leaders through the ages are master story tellers. From using parables, stories and anecdotes to paint vivid images of their central message, to telling the story of their new product or the company vision. I am always amazed by the authenticity of the parable of Jesus in the bible

Tell them an interesting story. Everyone loves to listen to an interesting story, you do not need to exaggerate but get into the details of the story and make it interesting and as relevant to the subject at hand as possible.

Tell them your story. It’s a known fact that everyone in your audience or sphere of influence subconsciously asks you a question no matter how busy or how disengaged or disinterested they may appear. Their question is “What is your story?” One powerful way to successful tell a story is to be familiarize yourself with it to the point that you own it. The interesting thing about your story is the fact that you own it!

People connect with you in a personal way when you tell a story, especially your own story.

I did not set out to write an article, but rather to share my story, but it’s great to have shared this as well in the process.

Some of my personal stories were shared in articles, podcasts or youtube videos.

I’m not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way.
I pointed ahead—ahead of myself as well as you.

When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. 
—Bertrand Russell

The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher.

—Amos Bronson Alcott

DREAMS: IDEATE AND CREATE

"If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want."

-- Zig Ziglar, Author




No matter what your goals are; the starting point of all things is the mind, the home of thoughts, resolve and decisions. Thoughts are substsances from which all things are made.
IDEATE:Ideas rule the world and you must be willing and ready to explore into the world of ideas, tap into the worl do your own ideas, be open to other people's own. You must intermeddle with all wisdom and sieve and sift between them all.You must ideate to Innovate. This is the genesis and the real basis of thought revolutions and the force behind the Knowledge Economy.

PHILOSOPHIZE: Many do this, comapring different ideas and creating new ones, it is a great thing to do but move on to the next step.

VISUALIZE: Build flesh around your ideas, your thoughts and goals. This is where you launch out into the real of Imaginations. If you can see it , then you can seize it.

RECEIVE: Be ready to receive all you need and have always desired, operating from a greater level of abundance and gratitiude. You become a master receiver when you have mastered the art of gratitude.Be grateful for all things in all. Everything works its good purpose

SHARE: This is the greatest form of all pursuits! To be more, to know more, do more and become more. The real essence is to be able to give more so that there can be more to all.When your actions emanate from this plane, you gravitate with a stronger energy towards your dreams.

A New Way of Thinking

Today’s Scripture

“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
(Mark 2:22, NKJV)

A New Way of Thinking
Are you ready for increase? Are you ready to go to the next level spiritually, physically and emotionally? In today’s verse, Jesus is basically saying that you can’t go to a new level with an old way of thinking.

I’ve found that many people hear the truth that God has more in store for them, and something resonates on the inside. Their spirit comes into agreement with God. But oftentimes, their natural minds will try to talk them out it. Thoughts come like, “It’s not going to happen for you. You’re not going to have a great year. You know what the economy is like.” Or, “You’re never going to get well. You saw what the medical report said.” “You’re never going to get married. You’ve been single so long.”

Friend, those are the old wineskins that you have to get rid of. This is a new season. What’s happened in the past is over and done. You may have been through some disappointments; you may have tried and failed, or things didn’t work out. That’s okay. We serve a God of restoration. It’s time to get a new vision for your life. It’s time to open yourself to a new way of thinking so that you can move forward and receive all of the blessings God has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today
“Father in heaven, today I choose to get rid of old wineskins. I choose to release old thinking, old habits and anything that would keep me from Your best. Strengthen me by Your Spirit so that I can live my life in a way that pleases You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
- Joel Osteen
