I've Got No Strings

I’ve been seeing this ad using the song from Pinocchio “I’ve Got No Strings” by Dickie Jones. Below are the words to the songs. Read them. They are profound.

I've got no strings

To hold me down

To make me fret

Or make me frown

I had strings

But now I'm free

There are no strings on me

Hi-ho the me-ri-o

That's the only way to go

I want the world to know

Nothing ever worries me

I've got no strings

So I have fun

I'm not tied up to anyone

They've got strings

But you can see

There are no strings on me

Here is the YouTube video if you want to hear the song.

Why are we creating Cinderella when we are reading a song from Pinocchio? Cinderella had a lot of strings attached to her. Her step-mother and step-sisters pulled her strings all the time, making her clean and served them day and night. She wasn’t free to have time to herself or allowed to do anything fun.

Can you remember a time when you had strings holding you back from being free to do what you wanted? Imagine yourself as Cinderella and the pumpkin is your carriage to the ball. If you had to leave the ball when the clock strikes midnight, would you run or would you stay and have everyone see you as Cinderella and not as the mysterious princess.  This is your story. Remember, you got no strings and you are free to be loved as you are. There is nothing to fear. What would you do?  Your prompt: “At midnight, when the magic disappears, I would …”

Watch my video to see what I would do.
