Now, I am no Hagrid to show up at your door on your 11th birthday with your Hogwarts acceptance letter, but I can assure you that the magic exists within you and no matter you are in Hogwarts or Harvard, you can always unleash it.

But you might be like:

Hey there, I am Pratham Yogendra here from the Youngsters’ Journals back again with a new article where I am gonna be talking about the Magic that lies within us. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

So, what’s this magic I am talking about and does it have anything to do with the Wands?

First off, the magic I am talking about is the magic to make your dreams come true and nope, it has nothing to do with the wands! The magic I am talking about takes a lot of patience and you must be determined to make it happen, no matter what!

Believe me, you don’t have to be rich or famous to unleash it and that’s the best part: it doesn’t discriminate. It’s hidden within everyone but we fail to acknowledge its presence.

The magic will help you to conjure your Patronus i.e to unleash your happiness.

Now, let’s come to the point: How to unleash it?

Well, I am no expert, but I can tell you that the first step is to believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, you will never be able to believe the magic.

Once you start believing in yourself, you will try to understand and accept your strengths and weaknesses and once you are done with it. It doesn’t stop here.

You must try to understand what your dreams are and what you are passionate about.

It can be anything because

“For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let us swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud.” — Albus Dumbledore

Once you are done with understanding your dream and your passion, I may sound dumb here but, your mind will start to think of ways to make it real. You’ll be desperate enough to do anything it takes and you start planning and it’s good for a certain extent but there is where most of us go wrong!

For a matter of fact, even I went the wrong way!

We start to plan and we stop focusing on the work. We start thinking of stuff in your common room. We think of the Cauldrons, owls, the wands but forget that in the end, we have to conjure the magic and it has nothing to do with what wand we use or what house we belong to.

Remember, Harry defeated Voldemort with just an ordinary wand compared to Voldemort’s Elder Wand.

How can you differentiate between the right and the wrong path?

Well, when we start to plan, we tend to understand our abilities and plan according to it but in the end

“It is our choices, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” — Albus Dumbledore

And if you fly down the right path and start working hard, you’ll notice that the magic within guides you to your destination. You’ll make new friends in your journey who are also quite determined as you are to make their dreams come true! The friends could be either good and bad but it’s your Patronus that will help you to find the good in bad as well.

At a point, you’ll notice that the magic within you will help you to deluminate the path to new opportunities that will help you to one step closer to turning your dream to reality. But as your progress, you’ll learn much more…

And this is where you’ll understand that ego, hate, arrogance, greed and anger lead to becoming ‘you know who’ and your choice to stay away from these feelings are the reason why you can conjure the magic, and more importantly you’ll realize the fact that

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” -Albus Dumbledore

Once you’ve realised the fact above, you will have successfully unleashed the truest and the purest form of magic within.

So, this is all about unleashing the magic within.
