There never seems to be a shortage of people telling us what to do and who to be. Many of us grew up surrounded by well meaning, yet ill advised, adults pointing us in all kinds of directions. Some of the suggestions may have had validity to them. Most of them not.
The problem was that we were too young to know how to form our own thoughts and give voice to them. We had no idea the power of other people’s projections. The dark side of shattered dreams, broken hearts and hopes blown away like the wind.
The Brilliance of the Tortoise and the Hare
This is hands-down one of my all time favorite stories. As a child I enjoyed the simplicity of the message and the animals as the main characters. I've always been a huge animal lover so anytime they take center stage in a story or movie, I am in my element! As an adult, I see it from an entirely different perspective. One that has a much deeper meaning. The power of continuing on - one step in front of the other.
