J.K. Rowling quote from her speech Harvard University:
"So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged."
I know, I know.... it's nothing like her life (HOW I WISH!!!) BUT we too can restart with our 'hidden gifts'.
What's wrong in getting up and direct the energy into finishing the 'work'??? our dreams???. The 'box' of talents HE has given us would be a waste to returned unopened.
What do we have to lose?
Where do we start?
I sit here and ponder...just momentarily thou.
This is going to be a 'fulfilling' passion and not just for me I know.
