The Frustration of the Typical Inspirational Short Story

Admit it -- you have a small collection of Chicken Soup for the Soul books that contain inspirational short stories, don't you?

Why? Because they don't always compel me to take action in my own life. Sometimes they just seem like nice touchy-feely stories and I don't see how they relate to my own life or circumstances.
