Once Upon A Time...



Remember when we were little... we could hardly ever simply state anything, whether answering a question or accounting an event. Our explanations were often dripping with imagination, our creative juices effortlessly flowing through our veins. Everything was vibrant and dramatic. Everything was epic and would often cause our listeners eyes to widen... or roll (often depending on their age). Jay O'Callahan said,

"We created effortlessly, imagination pouring out, and as we grow older our minds get more literal and critical.... All that imagination still lives inside us, and telling stories sometimes brings it out."

Jay O'Callahan is a professional story teller who travels the world telling stories. In this clip he brilliantly illustrates the power of storytelling - "that most human, and ancient, art form" - and how it taps into our imagination, engages those around us, and inspires amazing achievements.
