Everything is a story, yet nothing is a story



My Teacher and "leading voice of business storytelling Michael Margolis" says, "Everything is a story, yet nothing is a story."   

Life and people can be a bundle of contradictions. From one perspective, nothing is real and everything is just story. From another perspective, everything is real and nothing is mere story. Here are some inspirational posts, which are not stories and yet have a story touch. (many of them inspired by my Guru).:-


The Motivation Story
What drives us the most in adult life, is what was missing in the childhood.  

Find the missing link in your motivation story.
------------------------



When Life-story Gets Stuck
When your story is stuck and refuses to move .....don't give up, what is hiding behind is often a twist in the story.
--------------------------



Keep Climbing your Story
"When you consistently climb few steps everyday and focus on the distance covered rather than the distance left....the heart says that the mountain peak is not too far and tells you to keep climbing your story."
--------------------------



The Attention Story
"Some people do funny things to attract attention. Some are so so positive ....that it attracts attention.

And I pray for such a positive world, where even a bit of cynicism attracts attention."
-----------------------------



Telepathy or a Magical Story
"When two people think of each other affectionately, with pure or positive energy, it manifests in several ways. ..coincidences, serendipity, funny things sometimes.....call it telepathy or give it another name, the Universe reminds us of its magic...of something more."

-----------------------

Let me end with an actual story, 

 "And Those who Inspire"
The Guru is lost in thoughts this time and the disciple is obviously surprised. So he asks the Guru for the reason.

The Guru, “Those who teach need to learn too. Those who inspire need inspiration too. Those who are strong have weak moments too. Yet it is human nature to label and brand people."

The disciple gets into introspective mode and leaves.

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Image
Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

How Introverts like Guy Kawasaki & Pete Cashmore are changing the rules of the game with Online Branding?

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
