When we were young most of us had a favorite Fairy Tale and what ever that story was we identified with one of the characters. As adults we now are acting out that character in our life.
In the story Cinderella, did you identify with or see yourself as Cinderella? Or did you identify with the ugly step sister or how about the cranky old step mother.
Which ever one you most identified with as a child has a lot to do with the way you live your life today. The influences of that character permeate through out your life.
We seldom recognize how we are acting out the role of a character we related to in our favorite Fairy Tale. We just think this is how we are; not realizing it is only because we said so.
For instance if you loved the story Cinderella and you wanted to be Cinderella then as an adult you would live your life along the story line of Cinderella.
What would that look like? Well Cinderella was a victim, a victim of her wicked step mother and step sisters. Do you go through life feeling like you are a victim of other people in your life?
Cinderella had to work, work and work some more with little or no acknowledgement. Do you work, work and work some more and receive little or no acknowledgement?
Cinderella was looking for a prince charming to come rescue her and take her away from her horrible life. Are you waiting for a prince or princes charming to come rescue you and take you away from your boring life?
Are you looking for a Fairy Godmother to take away all of your problems and make your life wonderful?
We suggest that you think about your favorite story when you were growing up and see if and/or how that story is being acted out in your life today.
If the circumstances in your life today are similar to the hero or heroin in your favorite children story you might want to rewrite the story so that you can have your life be the way you want it to be today.
Sit down right now and write a new positive, powerful and wonderful Fairy Tale for your life to become today. As you continue to affirm your new story, your life will begin to demonstrate the qualities of the new story.
You have the power, you are the author, you are the actor or actor in your very own Fairy Tale. Make it wonderful, magical and powerful and enjoy your new life.
Sincerely,
Glenn Smyly
