Princesses and Princes
Since day one as a child you are told about princesses and princes. Girls are called princess and boys are called princes. And that ideal never changes, because look how many articles there are written on how to find your prince charming, I rest my case. And one other thing, every time I have watched Say Yes to the Dress, and yes I was watching with my wife, the bride to be's always say they want to feel like a princess on their wedding day! I have no problem with that, I married the prettiest princess on my wedding day and made her my queen. Now I have a daughter who when asks if she wants to be a princess when she grows up, will correct you immediately and tell you straight to your face that she already is! And she is she's my princess and her prince charming to be better not break her heart, because than he will meet the Beast I have inside. Princesses and Prince's have a very permanent place in reality, but sadly it seems to only pertain to a few situations, and I think it would be a better place if we expanded the opportunities people felt like the better version of themselves. In fact just tomorrow treat your loved one like the princess/prince they are to you and see how you feel, and if that loved one is a true princess/prince they will gladly return the favor.
Wooden boys!
I have spent my whole life trying to be a real boy, that might sound funny, I was trying for it to, but it is to true. I have never been the typical guy, I can't fix cars, I can kinda use tools, and the only sports team I like is the Chicago Cubs, and when they win a world series I know there is something called magic in the world! But one thing I don't do is lie! For one thing is I lack the capability of hiding the truth, because deep down I always feel the truth is the best said, even if it will hurt in the end. If I lie I show it in my face, I don't grow a giant nose, but you can tell because I suck at lying. But just think for a second if every person lied and there nose would grow how much more interesting life would be. There would be more successful marriages due to you had to be faithful, because if you didn't your spouse could break your nose off for the obvious lying. Cops would be poked in the chest whenever they pull over someone when they ask why they were pulled over, and a lot less dogs would be punished for eating homework. But the best thing about if the lying consequence would be watching C-Span, and watching hundreds of people trying to fit their long ass noses in such a constricted building. I would pay good money to see that!
3 wishes!
I bet every person would love to find a magic lamp, rub it, and make three of there dreams come true. I wouldn't. In fact if I found one I would call three friends and find out one wish for each of them and make it for them. I do not want a cheapened dream granted, if I didn't work hard for it. Granted when I finish my book I will be praying for a little magic coming my way in getting published, but other than that I want to work beyond hard to make my dream come true, because it will be that much sweeter in the end when it finally happens. Each time my pen writes a barely legible letter in my book, I know I'm one step closer to calling myself an author, officially, and being paid for it. Who knows after I publish a few books, I could publish this whole blog and make some money off of it. Dreams come true when you know they will, magic happens when you believe in it, and there is no such thing as 3 wishes. But there are three things that are required to make your dreams come true; a positive attitude, undying perseverance, and finally surrounding yourself with the right people who know deep down in their heart that you can do this, and you will do this!
Evil!
With all the good things in our life there are bound to be things that are bad in our lives as well, our villains. They might not be evil step sisters or mothers, mean aunts that put curses on you, or even a peer that gets you into smoking turning you into a donkey! They are still there. They might be disguised as a jerk boss, a backstabbing friend, or just some people who just have it out for you no matter what. The fact of the matter is they exist one for one reason, to prove them wrong! There is no greater feeling in this world than showing people who didn't think you could do something, do what they thought was impossible! Whether it be bringing your baseball team who lost every game in the first half of the season, end up being second in the long run, and losing the last game by a fluke! Or it might be as simple as showing your boss they were wrong about you, and you can handle a lot more than they give you credit for. Or your greatest villain is a supposed friend who smiles to your face, and throws knifes at you when you are not looking. If your greatest villain is the last one, I have one recommendation, drop that friend, and friend seven dwarfs, all named by their various personality traits. It will be pure entertainment for all and you will love life ever more if you have them around, all seven of them!
Conclusion
So please look at your life and realize how magical it actually is. Sure you might not have mice running around singing you a song while making you a dress, a talking monkey, or any kind of singing furniture. But you have something even more magical, real life sprinkled with fairy tale elements, and the possibility to make your dreams come true if you believe. Believe in being a princess/prince, one day becoming a real person, magic is real and dreams come true, and evil exists just so you can overcome it!
That's my boss. Always doing the impossible and making you believe you can do it too. My first comment was longer but it didn't post. So I won't say as much as I did, but Dane thank you for that inspiration.
