Tinker Bell Syndrome

[|Tinkerbell syndrome] - there are celebrities today that share similar things with Tinkerbell====== [|Tinkerbell syndrome]

Tinkerbell could sometimes be 'all good' and sometimes 'all bad'. Shorter ladies relate to that by enjoy being sweet and submissive little girls one minute and bossy grown up women the next. Tinkerbell is as feisty as she is tiny and like her many women today who are just about five feet tall or a little taller act the same. People see tinkerbell syndrome as undersized adults who become overwhelmed with a need to improve themselves in the grown up world.

Criticism
The Tinkerbell Syndrome I have grown up knowing that if I clap my hands and say “I Believe!” that any little sparkling fairy that might be in peril will suddenly recover herself and be back to sprinkling her fairy dust and making magic. I have believed in magic. I am a grown woman, I am a grandmother, and I still believe in magic….the magic of fairies, of fairy dust, of someone else making magical things happen for me.

What I have not believed in is myself, my magic. I have recently come to a point in life where believing in magic is not enough. I have come to an astounding realization that I must become the magic being. Instead of believing in magic I am ready to **be** magic!

It sounds like a technicality. What’s the big deal…the big difference? Believing in magic is pretty harmless…it gives hope. But what I’ve come to realize is that it keeps empowering someone other than me! I believe in a fairy so that she can sprinkle me with her magic dust and I can fly. I believe in Santa Claus so that he can make all of my Christmas wishes come true. I believe in a knight in shining armor so that I can feel safe and secure for the rest of my life. But I am always placing an important part of myself in someone else’s realm. They wield an enormous power in my life, yet they do not have a personal stake in the outcome. I do.

Have a personal stake in the outcome that is. Believing in magic or someone magical has been a way for me to avoid looking at the possibility that I am basically just ordinary and unmagical. When I look in the mirror I do not see a fairy or a beautiful princess, or a super model. I do not see a being that anyone would look to for magic. I would certainly not look to myself for magical outcomes. The image I see in the mirror has no unearthly powers. She is fearful, anxious, limited. I take a glance and know that I must certainly depend on something other than myself if I am to expect anything like a fairytale ending.

And so I try my best to live the fairy tale life, and hope for a little sparkly visitor to rescue me in the times that my imagination won’t chase away my gloom. It’s not working for me lately. I have not seen any fairies, except last week when I was watching Peter Pan with my grandson.

I have made a quiet declaration to **be** **magic**. Notice I say quiet declaration. I have a sense that most of my friends would deem me a bit daft to even hear me say it. “Be Magic? “they might say. “How are you going to do that? “ Well, truthfully, I’m not sure. But I’ve decided it’s important enough to give it my 100%. I’ll be reporting back to you. I have been teaching that you cannot outperform your self image. I have held the self image of a believer in magic long enough. I am ready to change that image to Being Magic.

Pat Hardesty 2/28/08

analysis: Pat Hardesty talks about believing, she has lost her since in believing and see herself looking in someone elses world and having the want to be there. She states that with the belief in magic you can expand your self. She feels if she 100% beleives in magicial things will come and she will succeed.
