An Inspiration

''Your past does NOT have to equal your future''
-Tj Hoisington.

If fascinates me you know..
How a life story of a person can turn out to be an inspiration to many. Who am I talking about?
Is non other than the author of The Harry Potter Phenomenon: J.K Rowling. Well frankly, I am not much of a fan of Harry Potter and speaking technically, its not about her creation that I am majorly inspired of but instead her life-story before she became successful.

Long-story short, allow me to shed some light..
Before the Harry Potter Phenomenon was published, and before J.K Rowling became successful..She was known, to have dealt with poverty, unemployment and being a single parent. But still, all those deteriorating factors never had her giving in to her personal vision of publishing her books. Rowling was also known to made only $105 per week from Welfare. But in an effort to save every penny, she cuts back on meals and spent all day in local caffes to prevent heating bills at home. At the cafes, Rowling would write on note pads while her daughter Jessica napped besides her.

Determined Rowling was to complete her books and have it accepted although she has faced so much deprssion in her life. After waiting three years for a response, she finally published her book and the Harry Potter Phenomenon began! Over 250 million of her books have been sold world wide and Rowling was named the world best-paid authors of all time-with her worth reaching over one billion dollar!

There you have it folks, my source of inspiration! And the story also holds the phrase I've post above..Your past does NOT have to equal your future! It really suits great with the whole topic. Rowling knew she could do it and have a successful future although her past might seem downright depressing. If you think it does'nt work out then, it certainly does'nt mean It cant work out now. It all comes down to determination and from my own perspective it also involves self-believe. Thats why YOU of all people should be inspired by something you are sure of..
