Your Best Story Is the One You Cry but Don’t Lose Track to Share
Wrap it up with some innocent cry and you have a powerful story that impacts.
There’s something special about the story that attracts. Reading and watching tonnes of it makes it clear what it is: It’s raw emotion.
Raw emotion is the heart’s glue.
The Cry Is a Wake-up Call
We get so lost in this interesting world’s complicated surprises. The cry in the story interrupts that.
The cry in the story moves you. The cry in the story shows they are human like you. The cry tells you you could be them too. The cry hints you still have time. The cry lets you know you are impressive. The cry shows you things you have to be grateful for.
A wake-up call in the form of your cry is the best of all. Deep down, all people crave is a wake-up call.
The Cry Plus the Story Is Hope
The cry along with the story is hope. Crying could be perceived as negative but here it’s positive.
The cry still the continuation of story hints change. When something changes, life feels beautiful. You’re drawn to know the change because you want to change too.
The cry of the other person and him still continuing the story makes you realize what the other person has realized because you listen and care. When you realize something, you feel it from the heart. That makes you cry too. When something hits you in the heart, you take action. The purpose of any story is to get you to take some action.
The cry isn’t a cry for help. It’s a cry hinting they received help. That’s what makes it powerful.
Different people get impacted in different ways for the same story, however.
Here are two examples of a story continuation despite cry: Example 1. Example 2.
Raw Emotion Equals Baby
You know why we’re drawn to babies? So we don’t intentionally harm them.
Raw emotions break competitions. Everything feels love.
Babies are cute because they are innocent. What they do feels cute because it’s raw. Raw is powerful.
You can use innocent cry as an advantage. An innocent cry is a cry you didn’t expect coming. An innocent cry is an action that is so innocent, it surprises you. You feel it cute. It’s an innocent surprise that makes an impact.
Here are some example from some writer’s stories:
1. “As payback, he set up an office exactly opposite at our own. Each day I’d sit in my corner office with the binoculars, looking at what they were doing. I took the eyes off my business to watch his business. As a result, our business suffered.” [Source]
- (Who will buy a binocular, carry it to bring it to the office, sit in their corner office, just to spend time and watch another business from the window?)
2. “When I awoke, I told the doctors I was awake and they laughed. They told me “You’re dreaming mate!” with their strong Australian accents. The recovery room is where all the patients sat after their procedures/tests. I waited there with the image of myself being a grandpa in a nursing home. They brought me a cup of tea and a biscuit to help ease the pain.” [Source]
- (Who tells the doctor they are awake! after a checkup or surgery?)
3. “Now that I had an introduction to the person’s email from someone they trusted, I then went in for the kill and messaged the person via Facebook. Lucky for me, out of sheer luck, they had accepted my friend request months back.” [Source]
- (Having a surprising win and feeling lucky…extremely lucky …is cute).
4. “I opened up my iPhone and started to sketch out some ideas in the notepad app. This person had let me down immensely, but I decided to do my best to find a way to come up with a second chance. After a lot of procrastination and trying to read a Robin Sharma book in-between making this tough decision, I came up with an answer.” [Source]
- (When you pull your iPhone from the table to open the notepad just because you decided to come up with a way to give someone a second chance by taking time to sketch some ideas …is cute.)
You might not always touch people’s hearts by including an innocent cry but babies and innocence always have leverage. This works. The best part is: you can’t fake it.
You Gotta Be a Lot Vulnerable …and it takes a lotta courage
You won’t cry without having an experience that hit you deep in your heart. Most of the time those stories are intimate and personal. It takes great courage to come out vulnerable to share those stories. But when you do, it creates magic for people.
The core of those stories is honesty and truth:
- Crying hints at the truth.
- The innocent cry is the truth.
- Something easily coming out means it’s truth.
- Continuation of a story despite the cry is truth.
Honesty and truth are raw. Raw is powerful.
It’s not always crying though.
Not everyone cries even if the story is vulnerable and deeply personal to them. I saw people laughing or smiling but their stories hit you deep. Either they have learned how to tell their stories without crying, or they laugh at the thought of crying.
You don’t have to always cry but when you do naturally, it’s powerful. I never saw someone crying naturally while sharing a story and not making an impact. If you saw it, it means they don’t trust their story, it’s not personal, or they are faking it.
You cry means something is vulnerable and the story is personal and deep for you. Crying is human. Crying shows how deep something hit you. Crying hints at how mentally stronger you are.
When you cry sharing a story, people listen …and cry. When people listen, you can gently touch their interior to remind them how smarter they are.
Crying is an emotion that doesn’t make sense but it tells everything. It’s the things that don’t make sense but that’s what makes a difference.
Your cry has immense power. It’s not faking it though. Your cry tells everything about you and your story.
It’s not crying for help, it’s the cry of a realization of a mistake or profound learning or feeling grateful you are sad others couldn’t or you didn’t realize earlier.
Wrap your cry with an innocent cry and you have a powerful story that impacts.
