In early March, I spent a few vacation days at Disneyland. One of my favorite experiences is watching the show, Mickey and the Magical Map. I have a great appreciation for the animation, the dancing, the music, and the inspiration throughout the performance. The experience brings forth the possibility of imagination.
I saw the production twice during this visit to the park. During the second time of seeing the show, I took notes, paying attention to the lyrics of the musical. The music and entire performance offers inspiration, empowerment, and encouragement for being who you are.
Here are some of the lyrics that inspire and challenge me to take action on the personal journey towards living as our best creative selves.
Dreams
If we all believe in the world of dreams and imagination. (Journey to Imagination – Theme Song for Mickey and the Magical Map)
Dreams and imagination foster the possible in life. Working to bring about your ideas to reality and finding time to nurture your creativity are ways that make life extraordinary.
What are your dreams? How do you nurture your imagination? How is your extraordinary life expressed?
The Journey
We’ll get there. (Journey to Imagination – Theme Song for Mickey and the Magical Map)
The road to a better self is a never-ending journey of living and growing. Keep going. Know that setbacks will be part of the experience. Fail your way toward success. Allow the mistakes, failures, and lessons learned along the way teach you to be better. Keep learning. Remember, quitting is not an option.
How are you implementing what you learn from your mistakes and failures in life?
Adventure
So much more than a destination … a journey to imagination.
(Journey to Imagination – Theme Song for Mickey and the Magical Map)
Your imagination is not a destination but an adventure in life. Creativity is an experience of beautiful possibilities. Your creative expression of life is leading you to something more.
What is your desire for adventure? How does your imagination foster your possibility?
Creative Expression
When will my reflection show who I am inside. (Reflection – Song from Mulan in Mickey and the Magical Map)
The journey of life is about growing into authenticity, our whole self.
Who are you on the inside? Are others able to see that? Does your outward expression of yourself reflect the inward reality of your whole being? What do you need to do to help you connect your inward and outward appearance of authenticity?
The Possibility of Imagination
And so, my young friend, it is up to you to choose where the magic will take you. The possibilities are endless. (Character, Yen Sid, from Mickey and the Magical Map)
Yes! Dreaming, imagining, and creating bring forth unlimited possibilities. The diversity of creative expression brings about the endless flow of creativity.
In what ways are your being creative with your possibilities in life?
Who You Are
You gotta’ dig a little deeper… to find out who you are. (Dig a Little Deeper from The Princess and the Frog in Mickey and the Magical Map)
The mystery of life is that our self-identity is a profound journey. There is a depth to our being that we will discover throughout our lives. It takes work to continue to find out who you are. Keep digging and growing.
What are you still discovering about yourself?
How do your experiences help you bring forth your creative expression of imagination?
