Positive Stories of Insight

A place to enjoy the lost art of storytelling. Storytelling stirs emotions and influences behavior. We experience the knowledge in our mind's eye and make the meaning for ourselves. Stories that come from my childhood and more recent events inspire me to write narratives in parable form in hopes that the reader can gain wisdom and be inspired. It is my desire you will be able to use the following true stories as an incentive to further develop your personal, emotional, and spiritual growth.

Self Help

There are books upon books on self help. You could probably find enough that if you stacked them up 20 feel square it would be taller than the Empire State Building.

These self help books are a good concept. If you read the information they provide, you will be taught how to help yourself to all your desires.

Let’s take a closer look at the word S E L F. It pertains to ownership of individuality. Now, lets look at the word H E L P. It means to receive assistance when someone gives it. What all of this is missing is the concept of improvement.

Instead of self help, let’s go with self improvement, such as improve your attitude, work on your ego, work on your self esteem, etc. That’s what the concept would be, self improvement. Because when you self help, what you are saying to the Creator’s Universe is that you don’t want any assistance.

Fore I say unto you, whenever you say self help; you leave out the most important part. And that is allowing help and assistance from the Greatest helper of all.

So my children, don’t self help; improve self.
