What I've Learned from Harry Potter
Jan. 26th, 2011 05:39 pmI am reading the Harry Potter books for the first time. That has initiated a lot of gasps from people, maybe someone reading this will think "Oh my goodness, really?! What is wrong with her that she is only just reading them?" I have always wanted to avoid them. I don't know why, I just had this idea in my head that I never wanted to read the books. But I am enjoying them, a lot. I'm glad I waited this long though; I can't imagine having to wait for a new book to come out.
Anyway, I am on the sixth book. Today it had some great life advise; destination, determination, and deliberation. To paraphrase, Step one: Fix your mind firmly upon the desired destination. Step two: focus your determination on reaching your destination. Step three: move with deliberation. Yeah sure, it was talking about "apparation", but it is still a good lesson to think of in terms of goal setting. I will definitely be keeping the three "D's" in mind in the future. Great advice.
