Dumbo & the Magic Feather
"If your dog is fat, you're not getting enough exercise." - author unknown
This past weekend we celebrated Father's Day here in the US. For me it's not only a time to celebrate fatherhood, it's a time for me to spend with my kids. Almost the entire weekend was dedicated to us just fooling around.
My daughter Sofia is about 21 months old. So she still requires an afternoon nap, and is quite attached to her mom. At one point my wife was heading out to run some errands and Sofia began to cry.
What did I do? I put in her favorite movie - Dumbo.
You remember Dumbo don't you? The baby elephant from the Disney movie? His ears were so big he could fly?
Yep, that's the one.
Now why do you like this movie? Why do kids like anything? She just does.
There's a scene in the movie, where Dumbo wakes up and finds himself in a tree. He's not sure how he got up there, nor is his little mouse friend. After the crows come down and begin to pick on Dumbo and the mouse, they realize that Dumbo got up in the tree by flying.
After some coercing and finagling, the mouse gets the crows to agree to help Dumbo fly again.
Long story short Dumbo doesn't have the confidence to fly. And one of the crows plucks a feather out of another crow and hands it to Dumbo and then says, "All you need is the magic feather!"
At this point double begins to flap his ears and take off. He then believes he can fly. The story continues with him returning to the circus, and he becomes a hero.
Now, my point here is not to get you to go out and rent Dumbo or purchased Dumbo, although it's probably not a bad addition to your DVD or video library.
I have one simple question; have you found your "magic feather?"
Have you found that "thing" that you can believe in to give you confidence?
Instead of flying with crows, what will it take to get you to soar with the eagles?
You have inside you the ability to make the most of your life. You have inside you the resources to create not only the life you desire but the life you deserve.
