Stop putting on that tiara, this isn't Disney! Grab your sword and run at it full on.

Female intuition, one of the strongest senses. We can take one look at a guy and decide whether he is a prince charming or an evil villain. We have been programmed since a young age to believe that fairy stories are true, and that one day, after battling an evil villain we will find our prince charming. When we were younger we aspired to be a Disney princess, and whether our career choice changed or not, we still never dropped the need to find our prince, or find ourselves one step closer after battling our 'villains', if we even manage it.

Lets be honest, we don't find many full blown villains in our day to day lives, other than the odd family member and friend, but in this day and age our 'villains' that stop us getting our prince can be anything like distance, money, commitment issues, sordid in-laws and even another woman. As difficult as these things are to sometimes over come we never give up, never surrender. Yet again we have been programmed to think that every villain has a weakness, that even if we prick our finger on that needle or take a bite out of that apple, our prince charming will come to the rescue.

What happens though if that servant boy can't save the princess? If your ugly step sisters foot did fit the shoe? Do we give up? Well the answer is yes. Don't get me wrong, we stick around, we try and wait it out, but to no avail. Thing is, in the stories, the prince always saved the day. The princess mucks around, trying to live a double life as a servant girl and a princess, while the prince always has one thing on there mind. Her. Sadly in life this isn't true, not all princes have only a girl on there mind, well at least not always the same one. So what do we do? Sit in or tiara and hope that they will some day change? Or walk away?

Well this is where my favorite Disney princess comes into play, as in fact she isn't a princess at all. Mulan. A normal girl, who risks her life to save her father by posing as a man in the imperial army. She trains...With the aid of a cricket and a dragon...come on this is Disney after all... and becomes an amazing warrior. She battles through one of the greatest villains of china, even after revealing herself after sustaining an injury, and guess what? She gets the army general, and quite frankly my favorite 'prince' of them all by purely being herself, and she didn't even focus on getting him! How bad ass is that? Oh and the best part? It's a true story.

I guess what I am trying to say is, why are we spending all our time trying to battle our demons, to get a prince? Or worse, waiting for the prince to do it for us? I think it is time that we all took our lives into our own hands and realised that the prince isn't everything. Use your intuition skills to help the army, not to find a ballgown. So everyone? Stop putting on that tiara, this isn't Disney! Pick up your sword and run into battle.
