Instinct
Much like it’s instinctive to take your next breath, storytelling is an
instinct that has always been a part of your life and will continue to
be, long after you are gone.
After finishing looking through this book, you will leave taking what
you want from it. You have already subconsciously crafted your own
story from the content within these pages and it will guide you to
the discovery of your next story. Each story that you are exposed
to, no matter the magnitude of the subject or its constituents will be
embedded into everything you do from that point forward.
Stories are infinite. Once you harness their power, you will be able to
start living your life for yourself. The more avenues you explore to tell
stories, the more you will learn about yourself and the ways in which
you communicate. When you are done with this book, I challenge you
to pick up a new hobby. Invest in a camera, a notepad, join a running
club, a cooking class, call up that friend that you haven’t spoken to
in a couple months, however, most importantly – never settle for
storytelling tools or avenues that easily fall into your lap. In order to
live a conscious and empathetic life you have to seek out stories and
when you do, story/telling will become storytelling.
