“Well, your wish to help people around you was granted as we know that you have helped many.”, said one of his friends. Then i started to pray to God to give me strength to change world around me.” Gradually i realized that this was beyond me. Man smiled and replied, “In beginning when i was young, i used to kneel before God and ask him to give me strength to change human kind. What do you talk to God about? What we should be praying for?” One of them asked, “Would you teach us what you have learned over the years.”Īnother friend said, “Old and Wise.

When they reached, all gather around him and started to talk and ask him questions about his life. One day all friends decided to visit their one friend who decided not to follow simple life and just dedicate his life praying and helping others. It is merely matter of understanding, whatever we do however absurd it seem can lead us to the path, path of God, It’s all just question of time.”, replied rabbi.Ĭhange can happen anytime in our Life, We should not lose Hope. Listening to this only thing man said was, “You are indeed an optimist person.” When they have perfected these qualities then all they will have to do is turn their eyes to God, and think what excellent servants they will make.!!” These people who spend the night in bar awake, they are learning Alertness and Persistence.

We’ve put together a simple framework to help tell the story of change within your organization. They need a story that can capture and hold their attention. If you want your team to feel part of a change, they need to see themselves in the narrative of where you’ve been, and where you’re going. But people don’t want a solution for a problem they don’t know or believe exists. The default is often to jump to sharing solutions or decisions- grounding team members in what needs to be done, rather than why it’s needed in the first place. Though branding and marketing teams have been leveraging the power of storytelling for decades, it’s a skill set that can be overlooked among leadership more broadly, especially when sharing information internally. Stories are how we learn to access the moral and emotional resources we need to face the uncertain, the unknown, and the unexpected mindfully.” It’s evident in the ways that religion has called on storytelling to cement beliefs for millennia, or how easy it is to recall the plot of a film you watched when you were a child, even when you can’t remember the details of a meeting that happened yesterday.Īs Marshall Ganz writes, “stories are how we learn to make choices. Our brains literally respond differently when we receive information in the form of a narrative rather than a simple list of facts. Research tells us that the act of storytelling has a significant impact on changing the ways in which we behave and evolve. By simply existing at this moment in time, we’ve become connected.

Though we’ve each related to the circumstances of 2020 differently, the experience we share is deeply profound-as a global society, we’ve gone through the unfathomable together. But it has also been a story of resilience, heroism, and unexpected silver linings. The story of this year has been one of hardship, loss, and uncertainty. With the holiday season upon us, we’re reminded of the uniting power of storytelling and ritual, even (or especially) in the most difficult of times.
