I’ve been thinking about fairy tales lately and how they always have happily-ever-after endings.
So often we expect our lives to be like this also. But it occurred to me that what we think are happy endings always depends entirely on whether you’re playing Snow White or the Evil Queen! 😉
Then I read this:
“Though fairy tales end after ten pages, our lives do not. We are multi-volume sets. In our lives, even though one episode amounts to a crash and burn, there is always another episode awaiting us and then another. There are always more opportunities to get it right, to fashion our lives in the ways we deserve to have them. Don’t waste your time hating a failure. Failure is a greater teacher than success.”
