Are You Waiting For Your Happily Ever After?

Belle, Cinderella, and Prince Charming taught us a lot about relationships as we watched Disney movies when we were little.

Is there any chance that you are comparing your relationships to what you dreamed up as you saw all those "Happily Ever Afters"?

Our imaginations are super amazing, just be careful that you don't measure your reality against these imaginary tales.

Instead of marrying a perfect prince you married an imperfect human (just like yourself).

Our people don’t stand a chance when we are comparing them to Disney heroes.

When we measure reality against imagination we are bound to be disappointed.

The same thing happens when we compare our lives to those around us.

When I feel like garbage after scrolling on social media I realize I have been doing what I call "Compare and Despair".

I am comparing what seem like the bloopers of my life to other peoples perfectly curated highlight reels that they selectively share on Instagram.

When we can see our lives and our people as they are, instead of what they "should" be, we will find that maybe our happily ever after isn't so out of reach.

You may be waiting for your Fairy Godmother to come and fix things, but it may be as simple as talking to a life coach.

I happen to know a good one when you are ready.
