I believe in fairy tales. No I am not delusional and I do not see fairies or dragons or own a glass slipper. But I can imagine them all! And that my friends is the key to living a life with hope! Fairy tales give us examples of not giving up; of believing in yourself; of being true to your values and beliefs and of good overcoming bad. Life throws a lot of bad at us. We can either succumb to the depression of it all or have hope for a better day. I will seek hope every day. It is a choice but one that I cling to! Fairy tales let us image that hope in a better tomorrow can become our reality.
So next time you have an opportunity to watch a Disney movie, go ahead and embrace the fairy tale. Remind yourself of your childhood where life awaited for you to be the hero of your story. And then go ahead and be that hero.
As you journey along your path may you use your fairy dust, magic wand and spoon full of sugar to be the hero of your own fairy tale!
