EXPRESSO PATRONUM

I have been fascinated by the Harry Poter stories. 
Always wished to have a magical stick with the help of which 
I can turn the situations to my favor, but I thought that 
these things happen only in books not in real life.
But one day while reading the third book
" Harry Poter and the prisoners of Azkaban",
 I realized the concepts in books come from real life only. 
Its just that we think its too difficult to live on those concepts.

All who have read the book must have remembered the magical spell “EXPRESSO PATRONUM” ..the spell has been taught to wizards 
for fighting the dementors who feed on every good feeling,
 every happy memory until a person is left with nothing but his worst experiences, leaving the person with no zeal to live .
In this trick the wizards have to remember 
the most happiest moment of their life and
 pointing the stick to the dementors ,
 spell Expresso Patronum..
 And the dementor changes its shape to a funny creature.

Now that's a great concept .. magical but so true in real life.

In our life we face many situations where we feel that
 the difficulties of life is somehow taking out the good things in us .
We are forced to change or surrender to the situations
 and one day we find that we no longer have
 the childhood innocence in us .
Something dies in this hardships of life.
I tried to apply this magical spell Expresso patronum
 without a magical stick in hand , 
just going by the concept,….
whenever felt hurted ,discouraged,disappointed,
I tried to remember all the good moments of my life…
and suddenly my tears converts into a smile ..
a smile of faith on life , on myself and it did wonders for me .
It helped me to overcome the difficult situations..
For example, if someone close to me 
tells me something which hurts me a lot , 
I try to remember all the good moments with her/him ..
and the smile of faith on them appears..
It makes me believe that those things being said or done
 are not intenional..its just the situation..
ultimately the blame of hurt is transferred from the person to the situation ...

Somehow this magical spell worked for me in real life .
It helped me to control my anger, disappointment 
and to some extent it improved my relationships with people a lot.
So friends whenever you feel sad/discouraged/hurt ..
try to remember the most happiest moment of your life 
n say EXPRESSO PATRONUM.....
 I hope and pray the magic will work for you also ..
