Cinderella as an Example of Believe in Myself

Fairy tales usually ends with this statement “Happily Ever After” maybe because it wants to give us hope, provide idea that every trial that we may encounter can be surpassed as well as to share knowledge that everything that is good can succeed.

I do love fairy tales not because it ends happily but because they give us lessons that we can apply in our life. My favorite fairy tale is Cinderella. Why do I love this one? It has a lot of life messages and I will tell you more about it.

Cinderella had been oppressed by her stepmother and two stepsisters but still she showed kindness to them. Revenge was never on her mind. Cinderella taught me that we should be kind to others no matter what happens. Sharing kindness to everyone is priceless. Bear in mind that kindness can heal this cruel world. Just stop spreading hates and negativities in this world.

Then, never let drawbacks drag you down. Cinderella experienced a lot of trials before coming to the ball because her wicked step family was doing things that would stop her in going to the ball but despite that she still managed to attend the ball. It taught me that we are all experiencing problems in life may it be a mild problem or a big one. But despite that, remember that we can overcome all of those. Life only challenges us to become stronger and better. People around us who put us down are part of those challenges. Don’t let them pressure and dictate you what to do and not what to do. Just listen to what negative things they are saying against you and make it as your inspiration.

Another lesson it gave me is that continue dreaming. Cinderella never stop dreaming. She knew that her path will change in right timing. She believe that everything will fall into right places. This one highlights that we should let our imaginations turns into reality. There is no impossible things that wouldn’t happen when you have courage and zeal. Everything we dream of can be achieved. Just never lose hope in life.

And the most important thing I have learned from this fairy tale is that I should believe in myself. It is significant since if you believe in yourself everything will just follow. What you aim in life will come true. Never doubt yourself because everything starts from within. What you are right now is a product of believing in yourself. Through this you will become better and more mature.

I feel so lucky to watch and read this story in my childhood days. This fairy tale will be forever remembered by my heart. This fairy tale is not just a fairy tale that would entertain us but also awaken us how good life really is. It may not be your time today but maybe tomorrow or the other day, you can say that, “It is my time.”
