Online platforms can also be a source. Social media groups dedicated to a certain cause, like environmental protection. People share their stories of individual efforts and how they connect with others in the group. These shared stories are kindred ones as they are all related to the same cause.
Look around in your community. Volunteer work can expose you to many different people and their stories. You might come across a couple who has been through a lot together but still has a strong bond. Their story could be a real in love story. Also, local events and festivals can be places where you meet people with interesting love stories.
To find 'little big stories' in daily life, start with your own family. Maybe there's an old family recipe that has been passed down for generations and has a story behind it, like how it was created during a difficult time and became a symbol of family strength. Also, look at the small local charities. They often have amazing stories of how they started small but are now making a huge impact on the lives of those in need. Pay attention to the details in your daily interactions, and you'll be surprised at how many 'little big stories' are there.
Build strong relationships based on trust. If people trust you and you trust them, there's less likelihood of blackmail. In a work environment, be honest and reliable in your dealings.
We can start by observing nature. A beautiful sunrise or a blooming flower can be an example of original beauty, and the story could be how it makes us feel. Also, looking at old family photos might show original beauty in the form of the people and the memories, and the stories behind those photos are the 'besst story'.
We can start by being kind to others and doing more than what is expected. For example, if you're helping someone with their groceries, you can also offer to cook a meal for them if they seem to be having a tough time. Simple acts of kindness that have an extra layer can turn into 'double good stories'.
We can start by reading books or articles about people from different backgrounds. For example, if you want to know about the stories of indigenous people, read books written by them or about them. This way you can learn their names and stories.
They can boost our motivation. When we read or hear a motivational story, it can inspire us to start working towards our goals right away. For instance, if the story is about someone achieving their dream job, it might make us more determined to pursue our career goals.
To incorporate the new and novel into daily life, first, keep up with new trends in technology. Use new apps that can make your daily tasks more convenient. Also, engage in new hobbies. If you usually paint, try pottery. It's novel and can bring a new kind of joy. Another way is to attend new events in your community, like a new type of festival or a unique exhibition. This way, you are constantly exposing yourself to new and novel things.
We can view love as a story by seeing the events in our relationship as chapters. Every day is a new page being written. For example, a simple dinner date can be a small but sweet part of the story.
In our daily lives, we often set goals and work towards them over time. This process is like a story. The start of the goal - the idea and planning - is the beginning. The journey of achieving it, with all its ups and downs, is the middle. And when we reach the goal or perhaps change our direction, that's the end of that particular story within the framework of time. Our lives are a collection of such stories, and time is what binds them together.
