I AM CINDERELLA
Oh wow, it feels so good to be back!
I'm terribly sorry for my disaparing act.
Has something to do with issues bothering on LOGISTICS.(I don't even know who invented that word, but please whoever it is deserves an Oscar!)
Lol, "Logistics," dont i just feel sorry for that word already!
Logistics in this part of the world would be defined as that word we use to explain what cannot be explained, that word that summarizes the phrase, "I can explain". Hehehe. Genius that I am!
Okay guys, let me just put your curiosity at rest, I had to hibernate for a while. Had some lessons to take and I'm happily going to share with you all which ones I consider necessary to you in the advent of time.
Trust me when I say it was worthwhile and thank you for bearing with my MIA status!
That said, let's get down to today's business!
I AM CINDERELLA......
During the course of taking my lessons this last few days I came across a very popular nursery Rhyme many of us are used to, it goes
ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT
GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM
MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY
LIFE IS BUT A DREAM!
Familiar right? But with lots of lessons we hardly notice!
I, like most people, sang this rhyme through primary school and even sang it as I helped babysit kids, without understanding; until a few days ago.
And like the famous inventor, a light bulb went on in my head as I screamed, " Eureka, I have found it"!
I assure you I will waste no further time in sharing my findings with you, as I break this poem down line by line!
Here we go,
ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT;
This line crystal clearly refers to HARDWORK on your DREAMS.
Bottom line, it's completely up to you to ROW your own boat!
People may choose to partner with you, but ultimately you occupy the lead, so as to provide direction!
Imagine each one of your "helpers" trying to row "your" boat in the direction that they deem fit, no need to guess the outcome. You all will be in the water and struggling to swim to safety before you say Jack!
Rowing a boat takes some effort that may not be palatable until you master the strokes and that's how life, you never "row" any endeavor without some measure of Hardwork.
Many times, it's typical of humans to seek gratification without as much as possible, work done!
If harvests were possible without a "sowing", most of us will be glad to scream, "Oh, the better!".
GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM;
Emphasis on GENTLY.....
For many who have grasped the "Hardwork" angle to life, we also sometimes unkwowningly aim at "over kill".
Over kill simply explained, will be that something is already dead and you keep taking measures to keep "killing" it,
(funny how many times I had to use the word "keep" unnecessarily) in the end you will be 21st centuries most hilarious clown!
This is not the consice English Dictionary definition but should do in expressing my point.
Interestingly that's how we are sometimes at chasing our dreams.
Even as you strive to ROW YOUR DREAMS, don't be to hard on yourself!
And no guys, this is not a shout out to
"mediocre" people.
It's a therapeutic intervention for people who drive their dreams even at the expense of health, family and life itself.
Amazingly life itself puts up reminders like this that we fail to take note of in our pursuit of dreams.
As the saying goes, "Easy does it"
Find the balance my dear friends, between work and play; so you don't burn out before you are able to reach the shore of your dreams.
MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY, MERRILY
I could write a full book on this one!
Oh my dear friends, how do I make you understand that ATTITUDE is everything?
Some of us for very good reasons, have lost our sweet smiles to the harsh realities of life.
We have replaced merriness of heart with deep frowns, scolws on our faces and of course have set in place unconsciously, a fast "aging" procedure, instead of an anti-aging arrangement.
Imagine the fragrance of a Beautiful Smile,
The Charm of a beautiful soul?
To butress this point,
Did you notice that " MERRILY" was repeated 4times, in contrast to "ROW" which was repeated just 3times.
This goes to show how far more important your ATTITUDE is over the pursuit of your dreams.
It's really not about what happened to you as it is how you handled it!
Choose to weather your storms MERRILY,
Choose to return a sweet smile for every stone cast your way.
If what people did or did not do controls your actions as well as reactions, then it means you are yet to gain mystery of your own life.
No one nor circumstance has any right to wipe the smile of your face, if you understand it is "YOUR SMILE" and you choose what you do with it! You simply are in charge.
Whatever controls your mood, your attitude has you at Ransome!
Don't let life ruffle you enough to harden your heart and consequently your face!
Oh you will get hit and sometimes beaten to the ground, but don't lie down there.
Rise up, however slowly. Knock off the dust sweetie. Dress your bruises and keep pushing.
Never loose sight of the Big picture in front of you;
This isn't a motivators theory, it's a principle I live by.
It didn't come cheap, I've learned as I conquered every one of my mountains.
Let your smile be the sun that brightens the world around you!
Everyone is attracted to a person of sweet spirit!
LIFE IS BUT A DREAM.....
Life my dear friends, is truly but a dream.
As far as you can dare to imagine!
Life can become your fairy tale.
Nothing stops you, my dear Cinderella from attending the kings ball.
It's up to you to "charm" your way into the kings party with the sweetest smile on your face and good grace.
And by the way, "Smiles" are not in anyway gender centric. Anyone can wear a beautiful smile.
Don't forget my friends, that your thoughts become you!
On the flip side, you become exactly what you think!
If you think you can, then YOU CAN!
If the world has ever celebrated men and women of creativity, 100% of these people were dreamers.
Including Yours truly; the one, the only FRAGILE GIANT.
I am one restless dreamer and that's why I can picture a seeming useless piece of stone into an enduring Art, Like I just did to this Rhyme.
Guess what?? I'll keep dreaming!
I am my own script writer and will always be!
I AM CINDERELLA,
KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING LIFE EVER CELEBRATES STARTS WITH A DREAM.
Never let go your dreams, keep ROWING with all the courage you can muster; dressed with a beautiful attitude!
Be a dreamer, Live like a dreamer.....
If you keep believing, that dream you wish for will come true!
And soon Just like Cinderella, you will become a Princess....
Trust me when I say the palace will come looking for you!
You don't have a Dream??
It doesn't take much, just close your eyes and make a wish!
Love,
Your Fragile giant!
