A Quote….

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it

Roald Dahl

Many great ideas start with a list…

My instinctive response to todays quote, was to write a list of questions in my journal.

Here are some of them…

• where do I see magic ?
• do I believe in magic ?
• how does magic show up in my life ?
• is magic the same for everyone ?
• what magic things have happened in my life this year ?
• what does magic mean ?
• what does a glimpse of magic feel like ?
• what would my life be like without magic ?
• am I paying attention to the magic ?

So, what about you, do you believe it’s true…that if we don’t believe in magic we will never find it ?  And what might a wider interpretation of this concept mean for us ?  Is it true that if we don’t believe in something we can never find it, experience it or be a part of it ? What does it mean if we don’t believe in ourselves ?  How can we begin to find ourselves if we don’t believe in ourselves ?

You can see, it all got a bit ‘deep’, pretty rapidly.  I do tend to find myself going deep sometimes without really trying.  This is part of who I am.  I also believe in magic and I can begin to dare to believe in myself too because that is the only way that I will ever get to really discover who I am and experience the life I am here to explore.

Prompts…

• do you believe in magic
• do you believe in yourself
• use the questions I’ve listed above
• change them
• write your own questions

Suggestions…

with the idea of ‘Magic’ in your mind…

• go on a treasure hunt for images (stick them in your journal)
• write a list of words
• anything else that feels magical !
