Great storytellers aren't born with extraordinary lives. They notice small details others miss: the weight of a coffee cup, the exact shade of morning light, how anxiety feels in their chest. Practice observing these specifics and your ordinary day becomes a story worth telling.
Imagine two people. Both of them wake up at 7 AM. They scroll a little bit through the phone. They get ready to go for the work. They grab a coffee on the way and reach the workplace. Same routine. But here is a difference. The first person is always in a hurry. He's just scrolling past without actually reading anything. He just grabs the coffee and runs away, spilling the coffee on the way. He is in the office, but actually his mind is still wandering around. While the second person is much more mindful. He is reading an article and getting deeply impacted. He's enjoying the smell of the coffee and sipping one drop at a time. He notices his colleague who's so happy because he has finished his project which was long due. This is the same in the life of an average and great storyteller. Most of the people think that the great storytellers have a much more interesting life. They have different set of events, different kind of life they live. But the reality is, a great storyteller notices things minutely. They go into the vivid description and they work on the feelings, and that is why when they describe their stories, people get impacted. Similar situation, similar people, but two different impact. If you want to become a great storyteller, you need to start noticing small things, small description, small feelings, small change. That will help you become a captivating storyteller.
