What Lesson Does Cinderella Teach: Cinderella Was No Bimbo and Neither are YOU!

Can we actually learn things from a Children’s Fairytale?

I believe we can.  This blog answers the question: What Lesson Does Cinderella Teach? I am so glad you asked!

In Cinderella’s day, there were only two options, to live a meager existence as a pauper or to be royalty.  If you were not lucky enough to be born into royalty, your only hope was to marry into the family.  Cinderella, like any intelligent woman, wanted the best.  The best was to be royalty, to live in the castle and have all the best life has to offer.  Her only way of getting there was by marrying a Prince.  The Prince isn’t the goal, he’s the vehicle by which the goal is reached.  

Believe me, if Cinderella had the great choices we have today, she would have been just as determined to reach the top without relying on Prince Charming to help her get there.  We have so many more choices today and most of them have little to do with whether or not there is a man in the picture.  Finding Mr. Right is NOT going to save your life, or make you something you aren’t.  Mr. Right will complement your life and your search for the best.  But we all know that living in the castle may ultimately be no fun without Prince Charming as your soulmate.  (Ask recent additions to the world’s most famous Royal family.)  That complementary relationship is a piece of the dream.  The whole dream is to find the best within yourself to have the best of everything.
