H.L. BalcombART happens every time we live in the spirit of the moment’s greatness" from Cinderella in Focus
About This Quote
When Cinderella said to her stepmother, "Do not dare to take away the glass slipper that is dearest to me," she was urging her stepmother to value her happiness above prestige. She argues that if the shoe fits, you should wear it. Cinderella knew that the joy she found in wearing her glass slipper was more valuable than prestige. Likewise, our lives are richer for the experiences we have when we live in the spirit of the moment’s greatness.
