For years, professional speakers and salespeople have known the power of using personal stories in their presentations. As storytellers, we tell a variety of stories. Stories that have been around for years, stories we have created, and personal stories. Personal stories are becoming more popular today and are being included in storytellers’ repertoires more frequently as time passes. Even if you are not planning to tell stories professionally, you will realize that there are many benefits that accompany the telling of a personal story. When someone knows our story, they can’t help but like us — and vice versa.

Stories Are for Adults Too!

Very often when I tell someone I am a storyteller, they will say, “Oh, how nice.

And, in my opinion, adults need and want the stories even more than the children. In this article, I am going to address why we, as storytellers, tell to adults. I will be including some quotes and ideas from many other storytellers and story lovers.

Hopi Prophecy

Hopi prophesy states that World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa.)

When the war comes, the United States will be destroyed by "gourds of ashes" which will fall to the ground, boiling the rivers and burning the earth, where no grass will grow for many years, and causing a disease that no medicine can cure.

These comprise the nine most important prophecies of the Hopis, connected with the creation of the nine worlds: the three previous worlds on which we lived, the present Fourth World, the three future worlds we have yet to experience, and the world of Taiowa, the Creator, and his nephew, Sotuknang.

This article begins with a Hopi prophecy first published in a mimeographed manuscript that circulated among several Methodist and Presbyterian churches in 1959.
