“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.
That is an astonishing statement and yet proven a thousand times every day of our lives. It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people’s lives simply by existing. “
The statement above was made by J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter book series, during her Commencement Address, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination,” at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association.
This truly heartfelt and at times humorous talk puts into perspective so much of what is important in life. We believe it hits so many inner qualities and characteristics necessary to be successful and happy in life and in leadership. This is a remarkable and different approach to the challenges we face in our daily lives. This link will take you to her transcript as well as a video link of her talk.
Enjoy the message…
