5 Reasons Living a Fairy Tale Is More Honest Than the Status Quo

Online marketing gurus tell me I’ll start to be an effective blogger after I learn to create problems just for you.  My directions are to create a problem for you and then write a sob story, one in which you are headed for doom unless you allow me – a comedy writer of all people – to save your day.

 Quite frankly, I’m pretty sure you don’t need or want any more complications than you already possess.  I believe if you do have some issues lurking in the pockets of your mind, those challenges are standing right beside the solutions.  I know without doubt you came to Earth equipped to resolve all your own problems – except maybe for a lack of encouragement.

 But if you’re taking time to read this, then I want to be effective.  Therefore, here is the problem you don’t realize you have.  I sure hope you like it! 

Your concern is differentiating between gold and fools gold, what is real and what isn’t in your world.

 A lot of people in the status quo actually do have a problem with that.  However, you are in Left Field for the next few minutes.  That means everything is possible if you believe and allow it to be.

Now if you really believe I have access to the only golden nugget that will enrich your life, then you may be living in a fairy tale.  Setting yourself free to imagine is a good thing as imagination is a manifestation magnet.  That’s what a few metaphysicians told me.  So, if you don’t believe in fairy tales that might be another one of your problems.

Unfortunately, I can’t solve that one for you.  But I can give you five reasons why you should consider rejecting the lameness of the status quo and live your fairy tale.

I am inviting you to return to the scene of the California Goldrush, specifically to Amador County, which bills itself as the Heart of the Mother Lode.

Amador County is located about 45 miles southeast of Sacramento.  It is home to 40,474 people and a fairy.  But she isn’t just any fairy.  She’s famous with an amazing voice, 7 million TikTok fans and a desire to play a flute-sounding instrument called an ocarina.

You might know her as the music fairy who won her way into the hearts of a nation when she sang “Colors of the Wind” to earn a place in the semifinals of the 2022 season of “America’s Got Talent”. 

She’s 20-year-old Rachael Wilson, a cosplayer who calls herself Freckled Zelda.  When she isn’t on a stage singing, she often can be found at conventions where she engages with scores of other Nintendo fans who cannot get enough of the Legend of Freckled Zelda.

Our heroine wore her princess cosplayer outfit – complete with pointy ears – when she took the Freckled Forest to the AGT stage.  She didn’t make the final cut.  Simon Cowell told her she got lost in the pageantry that swirled around her still stunning performance.

While she didn’t return to her land of enchantment as AGT’s latest big winner, Freckled Zelda charmed the crowd as only a musical fairy can do.  She did something most people only dream of doing.  She showed people where life can take them if they stop chasing dreams and start living them. 

Here are five enchanting tidbits of inspiration I took away from Freckled Zelda’s magical performance during which she created her own legend. Click on the song title above and experience her for yourself. Meanwhile:

1.       You don’t need pointy ears to listen to your heart.

2.      Let your hair down and flow through the spirals of life.

3.      She has only been old enough to vote for a couple of years now.  But she demonstrates in social media videos that there is no legal age limit prohibiting any of us from sipping the elixir called life.

4.      The sparkle isn’t in the fairy dust.  It’s in the eyes of people who believe in themselves and their dreams.

5.      All that glitters is not gold.  Sometimes it really is glitter.  But when you let yourself shine, what glitters and twinkles is the star of passion. That energy can light up the world.

For Freckled Zelda, the glitz was not gold she could take to the bank.  It was not a golden buzzer to go straight to the AGT finals.  But it was a golden opportunity for our favorite fairy from goldrush country to remind us that we’re all winners when we remember all the world is a stage and the people are merely players. 

She reminded me I may not win a game or a contest.  But there is no way I can lose at life when I believe fairy tales can come true for me and for you.

So next time life closes in on you and you can’t see the forest through the trees, sprinkle a little fairy dust on your dreams and imagine the world your way.  See it through the colors of the wind and the lens of love.
