Storytelling

When you want people to remember something, it is a good thing to use storytelling – to tell a story as people listen and remembers stories, so now let me tell you a story.

Personal Development Icon

It is about a young man who lived in the country. His mother was teacher and his father had been self employed all his life, so he was brought up in the believe that he had to get an education, get a job and if he were lucky he would get rich.

He spend his time on studying and working on the family farm. When he got 19 years old he joined the army as here he would earn a little money, get a good education and at the same time stay fit.

After two months he had an accident ending in him being sent home from the army with a migraine which kept him in bed a couple of days a week.

He was able to work at the family farm, as he could plan his own working hours. This went well for some years because when he was physically active he did not notice the migraine, but when he was 23 years old he had another accident.

He injured his knee and five operations and one and a half year later, there was no more the doctor could do for him and he was told to learn to live with it as good as he could.

He was not able to work at the family farm anymore, so he got on sick-care, and here he was sent from one test job to another. This lasted for five years until he turned 29 then he was given early retirement and left on his own.

Our hero received a significant amount of money to compensate for his health situation, but as he did not know how to manage such an amount of money, it was gone within a years time.

It did one thing to him though which was worth more than the money – it woke him up and made him realize that there were more to life.

He started to look for ways to improve both his health and his wealth.

When he turned 31 he was introduced to a product and a company. He started to use the product and within three months his life had totally changed. He had gotten his life back, his migraine was gone and he was running around playing with his kids as his knee worked again.

He joined the company and started to study personal development. He wanted to share and help other people – and he is doing that right now.
