Thanks for sharing your insights in Cinderella's existence for us - it's amazing just how a common story can really open one's eyes to various ideas! I think what's exciting about what you've shared is that it not only encourages us to think about our own Centres, but to be more open to understand other people. Often we use another type of psychological principal (stereotyping or labelling) to "fit" people in categories that we can understand easily without using to much of our precious cognition! I think most of us would say we buy into the Wicked Stepmother & Stepsisters, and the poor hard-done-by Cinderella much too often in our own lives. Just a gentle reminder really to spend some time engaging with our brains to get a better understanding of ourselves and others, and this mightily wonderful FairyTale we all live in! Thanks & Happy Daze to you, Tracey Hi Jenny,

The topic is a bit off-beat, and I'd like to see if it resonates with anyone else. If it doesn't with you, just regard it as link love. I've also added a Top Commentators feature to encourage conversation. Have a great day. :) Hi, Jenny and Erin,

When do we see a novel? Seriously! Very pleasing to see this old fairy tale so clearly analysed in Cinderella's character. I like it! On to do some treasure-hunting among the Centers you so thoroughly linked... Thank you. Wouldn't it be nice if we could see ourselves as clearly?

I'm slowly going there :) just thought I'd let things unwind at a leisurely pace. The thing is in my experience (and that's what I'm pulling from) it's very easy to see an "answer" and skip ahead without examing where I currently am and that is ultimately not very effective. So...Erin and I thought first we'd examine the centers most of us *actively* live with and then go to the next step of exploring a principle center. Hope you stick around as I appreciate your thoughts! Hey Jean,

Yes, I have read 7 habits and other books by Stepehn Covey. As for my view on character, psychoanalysis can be helpful to assit you to learn to understand character and feelings better. You could also begin with less-technical, perhaps even old-fashioned dream analysis. Writing a dream journal can be loads of fun and very enlightening. Hi Erin.

If you really want to be grounded in a changing world you need to be principle-centered. I don't see that on your list. If I'm remembering wrong, please tell me. Thanks.

Ha, ha! No checking out of new books for me... I've got about ten purchased and ready to be read but as soon as I get through them I will definitely read Everyday Greatness thanks for the suggestion. :) Thanks Liara! Ha, ha!

Thanks for the suggestions. Have you read 7 Habits? Jason, yes, there are a few more uncommon centers that you may fit it. Stay tuned, we may cover them - or just grab the book!
