Having a passion is like a fuel that drives one to be competent. Enthusiasm is the boundless power that lies within oneself that manifested in forms of art, science, and architecture, etc. Passion powers up brilliant ideas and then turns them into things that could change the world. It is the subtlest way that takes out the best version of you.
Russian playwright and short-story writer Anton Chekhov once said “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress. When I feel fed up with one, I spend the night with the other. Though it is irregular, it is less boring this way, and besides, neither of them loses anything through my infidelity.” This is how he convinced his thoughts on writing which is his passion while being a doctor in the profession.
How people feel passion depends on their perspective and attitudes. However, not everyone is equally capable of discovering it. The talent that expels the power in oneself is always there.
When some discover it at an early age, others wait till the perfect time comes. Among them, some find it in the most unexpected times in astonishing ways. J.K Rowling is one such exceptional figure who expressed her extraordinary skill hidden within herself for years in the most spontaneous way.
Excavate the buried jewels
Even though you are not much of a fan of Harry Potter, there are multiple reasons why you need to know about J.K. Rowling and her journey. The young people who always aspire to become successful and those who gave up halfway and are bothered by obstacles need to hear Rowling’s life story. Her life lessons deliver a better perspective about life for someone who missed the next mile of their journey.
“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. We have got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act. That is who we are. Plus, anything is possible if you got enough nerve,” said J. K. Rowling during a speech where she recollected her memories about her hardships as a single mom.
Despite the decline of financial and mental well-being, Rowling directed all her energy and focus into one thing - writing. Her intense desire for literature made her become exceptionally creative. That is how Harry Potter was born in her mind. Rowling used her extreme imaginary powers to build up the ultimate fantasy, to make extraordinary visual images in the readers’ minds. Harry Potter the exceptional work of art was rejected by twelve publishers at that time.
Rowling kept pushing herself to earn what she truly deserved for her years of hard work. She kept focusing on the bright side and never let her work of art go in vain.
That is where her efforts become fruitful and how Harry Potter finally falls into the hands of avid readers. As she flashbacks the memories, Rowling mentioned, “It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might well as not have lived at all in which case you fail by default. Because it is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities”
Death
According to Rowling, “Even complainants have an expiry day in life. Nobody can keep complaining forever. Even a single complaint could turn into an excuse without your knowledge.
A person who strives to become better at complaining is a disadvantage as the negativity consumes all the energy in one’s mind. As Rowling mentions in her speeches, struggles and obstacles in life are inevitable. But for the well-organized mind, death is the next adventure.
Her accomplishments reveal everything about the success she achieved in her life.
At present, Harry Potter is more than a fantasy for many readers across the world. The Harry Potter character is still alive and cherished in every child’s heart. This evergreen tale will pass onto the generations yet to come. So does the legend of J. K. Rowling.
