Hey I love the quote….but you missed some of it…the quote goes
“Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children..dragons can be killed.”
G.K. Chesterton
So that’s the whole quote
Thanks for posting part of it or I never would have found it

A good way I found to fight my dragons is reflected in this phrase.”If you see failure as a monster stalking you, or one that has already ruined your life, take another look. That monster can become a benevolent teacher, opening your mind to successes you cannot now imagine.” by Martha Beck.The first dragon to master is me, so the others can be beaten afterwards

I have been in an epic battle with my Smaug over the last 6 months and I have finally found the missing scale and drove my own sword in hard. I would heartily suggest this site
http://www.urbanmonk.net/welcome/ – There are many resources there that helped me to injure Smaug in many ways. But the final blow that killed my dragon was – Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life – Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – Steven Hayes. That was my STING!
