Believe in the Magic of Kindness - Cinderella

In the 90's before I went to sleep, Dad used to play Cinderella in our beta max tape. Yes! Beta max. It was the old version of VHS. Since Dad was too lazy to read stories for me, he bought a tape and played it every night.  

Cinderella was the first fairy tale movie of Walt Disney that I watched. Though one of my colleague laughed at me when she found out I am fond of these bedtime stories. 

    

Though somehow I was offended by it. I just ignored the sarcasm. People may belittle me because of what my point of views have been. Due to my excessive reading of children books before, I believe in dreams will come true.  I maybe old for fairy tales but those tales taught me the value of kindness, compassion, obedience, beauty comes from within and courage. Those stories taught me to read, to write and to dream.

 

Though I admit growing up with bedtime stories could make you believe in fantasy and prince charming. But I am telling you, those who grow up with those stories have passion for life. No matter what this life may bring, always hold on to your faith. Believe that in one way or another you will succeed, as long as your heart is with it. Addition to that, in life you really have to kiss so many frogs before you kiss the right prince. 

In the trailer of Cinderella, her dying mother told her that “whenever there is goodness, there is kindness and when there is kindness, there is magic.”  I solely have my faith in it. Magic does not only mean having special capacity to turn water to blood. But it simply means finding the bravery to travel the unknown road. Once you are there be who you are. Be comfortable in your own skin. And that is magic!

Whatever our childhood life has been, for sure it is a fantastic one. It is all up to us if we enjoy the ride. Find pleasure in reading books. Books could take you in places you have never been before. Through it we could examine our lives; what do we want to achieve or have we achieve what we want? What kind of being you become, remember it is the choice you made, no one else.
