The Way of The Fairy Godmother

I’ve been a therapist and seeker of personal serenity for more than 35 years. I’ve been searching for ways to lead clients and find for myself the paths of enduring happiness. Decades of exploring and synthesizing avenues to wisdom have led me to my favorite fairytale, the tale of Cinderella. This time I didn’t interpret the fairytale from Cinderella’s viewpoint. Instead I apprenticed to the Fairy Godmother.
The Fairy Godmother is incontrovertibly positive. She helps me focus on contentment, joy and an uncompromising radiant happiness. Her lifestyle is dangerously optimistic. For this reason she has miraculous outcomes. It’s not that she doesn’t notice the problems of life. Cinderella didn’t have a dress for the ball. She needed a coach and driver. When you are grounded in reality you deal with the problems.
I don’t want to tell you how old I was before I began creating my life from the perspective of the Fairy Godmother. Let’s just leave it at, for much of my life I was in the habit of creating from Cinderella’s point of view. More often than not I was disappointed. Like Cinderella I worked and worked to create harmony in environments that would not support harmony. Such an unstinting effort is exhausting, especially after several decades. To say it was stressful and no fun only scratches the surface of the issue. It was a harsh and bleak way to live.
Imagine Cinderella in her thirties and forties scrubbing away at the kitchen floor, trying to make beauty in an environment, for people who could not tolerate goodness or appreciate her aesthetic. This is not a pretty picture. Living life from Cinderella’s perspective is to stay entrapped in the young maiden who longs for fulfillment. Hardship is her constant companion. Unfulfilled relationships are her unremitting burden.
My quest became to mature beyond the Cinderella archetype to find enduring happiness. I set about studying the ways of the Fairy Godmother.
