The trouble with Fairy Tales.

I remember when I was a little girl, I had big dreams. I came from a very modest home with a mom & dad who worked hard to feed and clothe us. There was not much money left over for extravagant purchases - although they always did seem to find the money to make our lives special in so many ways. We were loved and we lacked for nothing that was important. I also remember at some point becoming aware of people and communities that in my mind were wealthy. My dream was to someday live in one of those communities and I remember not only focusing on that - but actually believing it would come true. That I was Cinderalla and would some day find my prince and live in a castle.

There was no money for college and I really didn't have the support system at the time that would help me find the resources to help me get that degree so I went to work right out of high school. I learned alot. Perhaps a college degree would have somehow made my journey easier and more profitable - but looking back, I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's.

I have succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. I've been able to use my gift for writing, I have worked for some amazing companies and I've had the joy of working with inspiring mentors. And I feel even greater things await just over the horizon. Life has so much possibility.

I did find that Prince and I did live in the community I had dreamed of as a child - and it was great. For a good long time. But the trouble with fairy tales is that every story comes to an end. The good news is that there is always another book with another story to dream into being. 

I have so many instances of what they now call "the law of attraction" in my life that I truly believe you create your own life - you dream it into being. As one dream is realized, the process of creating something new begins again.  You have the power to make all those molecules swirling around you into a grand dream come true. All it takes is intention, belief, and action.

As Mary Manin Morrissey says, “Don't wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater.” 

Think. Believe. Do. And watch the magic happen.
