If you want a story that will “make them see” once and for all, that you are right, you have missed the point.  There are many points of view, you look at mine and I might be willing to look at yours.  But if you over control a story, it makes you very boring and people simply shut down.  No one likes to be told what to think, even if you are pretending to tell a story.

Success can be frustrating too.  When, story creates powerful images that connect to your listener’s goals and inspirations, they may move past your original intentions, achieve more than you expected, and in different directions than you expected.   When you awaken full participation, you will not be in charge.
