All Harry Potter fans would know this quote, which Professor Dumbledore says towards the end of the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (which in some countries is known asHarry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone).

However, how often in our relationships, both at work and home, are we prepared to “go along to get along”?

We normally find it very difficult to challenge those who are closest to us because it will put a strain on our relationships, and we are afraid to stand alone. On the other hand, we are quite prepared to challenge those whom we feel are our adversaries. However, if we are to live our truths – whatever they may be – we must be prepared to stand up for what we believe in all situations.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• To what degree am I someone who “goes along to get along”?
• To what degree am I living my truth, who I am and what I believe?
• In what situations am I not standing up for myself, doing what I know to be right, or what I believe? And why am is that the case?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!!
