Shedding the Fairy Tale
Nov 23, 2022
Are you stuck in a land of fairy tale expectations?
No, I’m serious – many people grow up believing that life should be like a fairy tale. They don’t intentionally believe it – they read and heard those fairy tale stories so often in their lives that they internalized a false narrative filled with heroes and villains. In those fairy tales, the villains get their come-uppance, and the heroes live happily ever after.
Life isn’t like that at all – life is a series of decisions we get to make, then we see if we like the way it turns out, and then we make some more decisions. There isn’t some hero who’ll ride in and magically make your life OK – you are the hero in your life. You are the one who will choose what looks like “happily ever after” to you, and then decide if you want to change it.
There’s not one event in your life that will magically make your life good forevermore – there’s one you, deciding that you are your own hero, in charge of your own happily ever after.
