"It is our choices, Harry, that show us who we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Albus Dumbledore

Hello fellow Potterheads!
Today I will be talking about yet another Albus Dumbledore quote. This one will turn out to be very similar to my last post, because I will be talking about following realistic and attainable dreams.
this is one of my favorite quotes from the entire series, mostly because it has been proven true in our Muggle lives, along with the Wizarding World.
It sort of goes along the same lines as "actions speak louder than words," and "it's the thought that counts." Sometimes what you try to do is more important that what you actually do. what if Harry hadn't found all the Horcruxes and destroyed Voldemort? Yes, that would royally suck, but you know what, he tried. He tried to defeat him, and he could have just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. Making an effort is better than doing nothing at all. Trying is all that anyone could really ask of Harry.
So, as I stated earlier, I see this quotes as a kind of "follow your dreams" thing. Say all you wanted to do in this world was be a musician. Would you rather try your hardest to be a good musician, or get a degree in business and spend the rest of your life in a cubicle, miserable? I know for sure that I would rather try. Who cares if you're a coffee shop musician? You would be happy and content because you are doing exactly what you love. Passions are really what matter in this world, and if you aren't doing what makes you happy, what are you really achieving?
Until next time, Potterheads!
