{from chapter 3, "What Makes A Good Story?"}"Our willingness to hold dear the moments of past shalom prepares us to imagine a new and better day, and, even more to move toward that day with passion and purpose."
The essence of a good story lies in its ability to connect past experiences with future possibilities. By cherishing and reflecting on moments of peace and fulfillment, we can cultivate a vision for a better tomorrow. This reflective practice not only allows us to dream but also fuels our determination to actively pursue those dreams with enthusiasm and intent.
In "To Be Told," Dan B. Allender emphasizes that our connection to meaningful past experiences empowers us to envision a brighter future. By embracing these moments, we can navigate toward our goals with a sense of purpose and drive, ultimately shaping our own narrative and destiny.
