The four basic parts to a good story:

#1: The Hook

#2: The Conflict

#3: The Breakthrough

#4: The Reflection

joykwondo Exercise

Tell a story. You can either write it or film yourself telling it, but tell an exciting story to influence your audience to do something. Use whatever cause you want; you can even use “the pen test” as I did if you like. The purpose of this exercise isn’t to get the audience to take your side, but to simply get the audience excited. If you can get people excited once, they’ll come back to you for more. It’ll be another JOYkwondo move to have in your bag of tricks.

Remember to keep a copy of your story for yourself. You can read or listen to it in the future to get excited and feel uplifted. Also, don’t forget to write your Joy Journal entry for the day!
