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.
(From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumbo):
“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!!!
