No Need for Magic

"We do not need magic to change the world,

we carry all the power we need inside of ourselves already:  

we have the power to imagine better."

J.K. Rowling

If we perpetually carry in our mind's eye the visual of being impaired, then yes, indeed, we very well may lead a life of impairment.  Our body, mind and spirit listen carefully to everything we say .... even the ridiculous things we mutter under our breath.

Our perception is the measuring stick, so there is plenty of room for inaccuracy.  Although mindless, in college we played a game to discover an aspect of someone that they were unaware.  For me, I never knew I was bow legged until my college mates pointed this out to me.  It was from that point that I became self-conscious about my legs.

If a beautiful person feels defected or ugly, he or she will live life never experiencing personal beauty.  If a person is overly convinced of personal beauty, they are unlikely to discover less superficial aspects of personality.  The best formula is to use the power within to create the best version of our selves as we discover our gifts and talents.   One doesn't need magic to be kind or to be a light in the world.
