Once Upon A Time…
April 30th, 2008 by robin
As young children we lay in bed attentively awaiting our parents coming to our room to read us a story, that began with the magical words "Once upon a time". These words allowed us to enter a fantasy world where anything is possible, and often our greatest thrill would be when our parents put us into the story, and we became the hero of the tale.
The following night we would want to hear the same story again, even though we knew it by heart, we still wanted to hear it again, because it made us feel good, and happy and filling our imaginations with wonder.
In time we learn that these are 'just stories', in fact they are for kids, and as we grow up we leave them behind in the file marked 'Childhood'. All of a sudden we cannot grow up fast enough, we want to be accepted as adults and to fit in. Yet when we go to the movies or read a book that enthrals us once again we enter the world of fantasy where we once again find a character to identify with, who represents in some ways the person we see as ourselves.
Your life story is unwritten, but when you set the lifetime goal, and take positive action towards making that goal a reality, you have begun writing you own tale of life, which will be every bit as exciting, thrilling and rewarding as the stories you heard as a child.
Why not dare to dream more than you have allowed yourself in the past, why not be the hero of your own life, and in the process put set backs in perspective? You will have maidens to rescue, dragons to slay and journeys of uncertainty to be undertaken.
Your dreams are waiting for you in the future, but you cannot arrive there until you start conscientiously and positively choose to take positive action.
