Finding your "Magic Feature"

Finding your Magic Feather (attitude)

Remember the old Disney classic Dumbo?  Dumbo the elephant has big ears and is derided by the other elephants.  Timothy the mouse becomes his friend and tries to comfort him.            

“The next morning, Dumbo and Timothy wake up in a tree. Timothy wonders how they got up in the tree, and concludes that Dumbo flew up there using his large ears as wings. With the help from a group of crows, Timothy is able to get Dumbo to fly again, using a psychological trick of a "magic feather" to boost his confidence.”

Dumbo BELIEVES the feather is magic and is able to fly with his big ears.  In the story, as Dumbo is flying off a high platform and loses the feather and starts to fall.  Timothy convinces him the feather really wasn’t magic – and that Dumbo can really fly – and he believes and he does fly.

So, how about you?  Do you have a magic feather?  Or do you really believe in yourself?

BUT … having a “magic” feather isn’t all that bad.  I’ve had a picture of my grandchildren in my billfold.  Is it magic?  No, but when I look at that picture, my spirit soars.  Some women might wear some earrings or jewelry that was their mothers – is it magic, no, but it does affect them in a positive manner.  Others I know have a religious item in their pocket or around their neck.  Is it magic?  No, but it also gives their spirit a boast as they think of their relationship to God and His providence.

Maybe you have a “magic” mirror.  As you look in the mirror, you can stand straight, you can affirm that you can do what is ahead that do. 


Do keep your spirit up and let the magic of your thoughts, attitude and believe keep you soaring – just like Dumbo!!!
