Two people came out of a building and into a story...

…filled with magic, inspiration and fulfilment.

After a stressful and upsetting day at work, all what Tracy, a 25year old, and Janette, a 26year old, wanted was to quit their jobs and feel how it is to live again.

As they were exiting their building through the revolving door, they saw they were in a new dimension. A world where everyone was equal and everything and anything was possible.

Tracy didn’t know what to expect and was afraid they could not return but Janette was excited and over the moon to think that a world like this exists. They continued through this new world and found little people and animals all living in peace and love. This was a world where no crimes were committed, money was never an issue, there was never any shortages of anything and everyone enjoyed what they did.
“If only our world was like this” said Janette. Tracy confused and scared replied, “Are you crazy! What if we never get out of here, what about our lives?!” Janette, irritated with Tracy complained, “What life do we have back there?! We were never happy with our jobs, all we wanted to do was quit for the past six months but because jobs are so scarce we cannot afford to quit. We barely can afford to pay our monthly rent, every so often petrol increases, there is a shortage of water and how often do we spoil ourselves? Please Tracy, let us just enjoy this new world where everything is perfect, we have nothing to lose.”

As they were passing through the town, an old man approached them and asked if they were passing through just like many others. They were confused and asked the man to please explain. He explained, “This is a perfect world, a world every human dreams of when they are kids. Where fairytales are possible and nothing can and will stand in your way. Many people from your world feel that life is getting to much, they become unhappy, unsatisfied, like they wish things could change or things to come to an end. When we sense such people we allow them to enter our world and feel that there is much more to life than just their work or that whatever is bothering them, can be solved and God will not give them a burden heavier that what they cannot bear. They come here to strengthen their spirit and once they feel satisfied, they go back to their world ready to live again and knowing that life is a gift and not a burden.”

After experiencing many inspirational and uplifting moments, Tracy and Janette returned to their world. They returned knowing that there is much more to life than a bad day at work and since this experience, they get up every day with a positive attitude that nothing is more important than living life to the fullest.

  1. I wish we could have a magic cupboard or door where ever-so-often we could escape the clutches of the real world. It would be a life with no responsibility; it would be carefree and bliss. Sigh... How I wish...
    There is definitely more to life than the material things that define us.

  2. Just shows that we have so much to be grateful for. Would'nt it be great if we lived in a magical world where you could be whoever you wanted to be? There is a reason for everything that happens in life and most of the time we do not understand and seek for anwers, but we need to remember to have a greatful heart.
