We learn from stories: someone shared a powerful story this morning that i really took to heart.
But it’s not like swallowing a pill. The ‘learning’ is something that we do ourselves. It does not come pre-packaged within the story. We understand what is given within our own individual context, and through our own personal filters - filters of experience, expectation, and culture.
Use your sixty seconds today to think of a story that impacted on you.
Was it just given to you, or told to a crowd? Do you think everyone took the same thing away from it?
Did it share more confidence of vulnerability, knowledge or uncertainty?
What did it cost you, if anything?
And did you pass it on?
