We are the sum of our thoughts, including imagination. This may be true where our thoughts and creative ideas/images/concepts translate into corresponding actions.
We are the sum of our actions. However, we could end up saying or doing things which we do not intend.
What or who are we then? We are a hybrid of our thoughts and actions. When we are deeply convicted in our thoughts, we will work things out accordingly and realise our true self, undistorted, and become powerful as all our stars have become aligned, so to speak.
Let the words of J.K. Rowling inspire you to find greatness in the good stuffs that you are passionate about.

1. “It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.”
2. “We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.”
3. “It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
4. “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.”
5. “I have never been remotely ashamed of having been depressed. Never. What’s to be ashamed of? I went through a really rough time and I am quite proud that I got out of that.”
6. “You’ve got to be prepared for hitting wrong notes occasionally, or quite a lot. That’s just part of the learning process. And read a lot. Reading a lot really helps. Read anything you can get your hands on.”
7. “Sometimes, you have to stop trying to force it, walk away and let your subconscious show you the way. Fill up on life for a while.”
8. “The world is full of wonderful things you haven’t seen yet. Don’t ever give up on the chance of seeing them.”
9. “Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success.”
10. “Imagination is the foundation of all invention and innovation.”
11. “If someone asked for my recipe for happiness, step one would be finding out what you love doing most in the world and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do it.”
12. “The discipline involved in finishing a piece of creative work is something on which you can truly pride yourself.”
13. “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
