I watched the Wizard of Oz the other night for the 9 millionth time. I was struck by the simple message of this brilliant movie: Everything we need is already inside us. The scarecrow was a natural leader, the Tin Man was kind and loving, and the Lion led the charge to the witch's castle. Our brain, heart and courage is already intact. Sometimes all we need to do when we're feeling discouraged is awaken ourselves from the field of poppies.... lovely poppies as the Wicked Witch of the West would say. It's the Gremlin who tells us "I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too!" You have the brains, heart and courage to neutralize your Gremlin - so you can do what you have to do to get what you want. So put down the broomstick, throw water on that "cursed fool" Gremlin, and realize that all you want and need is already there.
