Fairy tales can come true. You gotta make them happen, it all depends on you. Tiana – The Princess and the Frog

Oh how I wish life were indeed a fairy tale, and we all just got our happily every afters.  Wouldn’t that be wonderful?  It would, but life is NOT a fairy tale, and if we want that happily ever after, then we have to make it happen.  I’m a firm believer in the Law of Attraction.  I was first introduced to it from a co-worker who loaned me the book The Secret.  It’s a great book, and I love it, but it’s missing a key component.  The Secret teaches people to first ask the universe for what they want, then they must believe that what they want is coming, and finally receive what it is they want.  They key step the book leaves out is the fact that you actually have to do something.  You need to expend some effort, too.  If you want to be an actor, you can’t just say I want to be an actor and believe it’s going to happen.  You may need to take some acting classes, and go on casting calls.  You still need to believe with all your might that you’re going to be an actor, but, some effort from you is required.  When I go to school every day, it’s with the thought that I want to be a good teacher and inspire my students.  I believe, I’m a good teacher, but I also take classes to be a better teacher.  I read books and articles that help to make me a better teacher, and I plan lessons that I hope will actively engage my students.  I’m doing my part, and I believe the universe is doing it’s part as well.  So if you want the fairy tale to come true, put it out there for the universe to hear, believe with all your heart that it’s going to happen, and then start doing your part to make it happen!
