No one but you!

I had a friend who wouldn’t let her daughters watch fairytales.  She said it wasn’t realistic for them to think that any man was going to ride in on a white horse and rescue them, and she didn’t want to teach them that’s what life was really like.

I remember being shocked at the time and thinking it was pretty harsh.  BUT now that my own kids have grown up, I find myself reading the quote above and realizing the truth that I am the hero of my own story.  I can’t expect someone else to read my mind, and I sure can’t expect someone else to save me.

The delicious, homemade, gourmet, lit “cake” of my life has been iced by yours truly.  There is room on it for more candles, but it is pretty cool on its own too.  And isn’t it easier to be the hero of my own story? Because I’m the only person who will ever know exactly what I need.

Question:  Do you find yourself wishing someone would come save you?

Food For Thought:  Do you know how strong you really are?

Challenge:  Make a list of 3 awesome things you’ve done all by yourself.
