The first
full-length movie I remember watching in the cinema was Walt Disney’s Peter Pan. Fantastic as animated films
can be, I was completely enthralled and was thereafter convinced that magic
exists.
In the story it
is told that with a little pixie dust and a happy thought one could actually
fly; though now that I am an adult, I know this cannot possibly be true. I strongly believe
in the power of suggestion and have often times relied on my imagination to get
through the toughest of times. Whether it was while I sat on a chair at the
dentist with a drill in my mouth or in an airport on stand-by waiting for hours
for a delayed plane to arrive, visualizing something pleasant has been for me a
useful coping mechanism.
Sometimes life
can throw us more than a fair share of problems making the future ahead seems
bleak. Sometimes our daily routine can become monotonous, predictable and
dreary. In picturing things positively in one’s mind, great comfort,
if not inspiration, can be found. In envisioning a brighter tomorrow we are
encouraged to wait it out until things get better…because they always do for
those who believe in the magic of hope.
