You know the story. Wealthy, loving, widowed dad meets gold-digging woman. Dad marries women and brings her and her two less than lovely daughters to live in manor. Dad dies and leaves less than loving step-mother in charge of all three daughters. Step-mother is jealous of natural daughters inner and outer beauty and treats her like a servant. One day the prince plans a ball that he wants all young women in the kingdom to attend and at which he will choose a princess. Step-mother will not provide clothes for the natural daughter and locks her in the house the night of the ball.
Along comes Cinderellas Fairy God Mother and with her Magic Wand, provides Cindy with a beautiful dress, glass slippers and turns a pumpkin into a pumpkin coach. You certainly know the rest.
The Real Scoop
Imagine this story as a metaphor for change and self esteem. Growing up as she did criticized, belittled, unloved Cinderella wore her old raggedy self and felt unworthy of fulfilling her real purpose here on Earth (OK. OK. It is a bit pre-feminism to think her real purpose is to marry the Prince. But play along.)
Along comes her Fairy God Mother, waves her Magic Wand and outfits her in the accouterments of real self esteem enough to make her beauty recognizable to her real purpose.
That Fairy Godmother just waved her magic wand. You can create magic with a life coach but you will have to do some work. If you are willing, the results will be the same as Cinderellas. You will be transformed!
