The holidays are the perfect time for inspirational stories that will motivate people to care more about their fellow human beings.
Not only are there a number of classic tales out there to share with the whole family, but the news often brings about positive stories during this time of year, such as articles about kids volunteering or canned food drives.
Families should make short motivational stories a regular part of their holiday celebration. For instance, before dinner, each person at the table can be given the opportunity to tell a tale – whether it be Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer or something positive they have recently heard.
This may get everyone thinking about how they can be a better person, which in turn may spur them to do a good deed this Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee believes that being kind to other people is the key to universal peace. There may be no better time of year to focus on this type of effort than during the holiday season.
