How to Be Inspired by Sookie Stackhouse

Do you sometimes wish that you could be Sookie Stackhouse? Many people love to day dream about becoming more like fictional characters that they admire, despite the impossibility of such a desire. So, why not instead use your admiration to become inspired to make realistic, pro-active goals? After all, this character of the New York Times Best-selling series, "The Southern Vampire Series," is popular for a reason.

Determine what exactly about the character and life of Sookie Stackhouse fascinates you. Examples could be: Her love life, unusual abilities, culture, environment, or strength of character.

Take that fascination and turn it into an active goal. For instance, one may envy Sookie's telepathic abilities, but as developing telepathy is an unrealistic goal, one may instead wish to redefine the goal as: To develop a special talent.

Next, decide on how to fulfill these goals. Luckily, you're in the right place! wikiHow has many other articles that can be of service to you. There are articles on: "How to Find a Talent," "How to Develop Psychic Abilities," "How to be Mature," "How to be a Good Host in the Southern Tradition," "How to be Strong," "How to be Mentally and Emotionally Strong," "How to Look Pretty," and "How to Get a Guy to Like You."

Now that you have a goal(s) in mind, plan their implementation. Try setting a deadline, telling others about your goal (studies show that you're more likely to achieve a goal when you tell others,) and decide when you will know that you have reached your goal.

Put it into action, and reap the rewards of pro-activity!

Tips

• If you are fascinated by Sookie's small-town life, but live in a more urban area, you may like to travel to the small-towns in your regional area. Go and visit them, and possibly try to make them a regular, weekend "haunt."
• If you like the Southern culture permeating the books, get some books on southern history and culture from the library and/or your local book store. If you feel especially ambitious, plan your own vacation to Louisiana!
• If you are of the New Age persuasion, and have decided to look beyond wikiHow for advice on developing psychic abilities, try reading books like: "Spiritualism and Clairvoyance for Beginners: Simple Techniques to Develop Your Psychic Abilities," by Elizabeth Owens, or "How Psychic Are You? 76 Techniques to Boost Your Innate Power," by Julie Soskin.
• You will also need to read at least one, if not more of the various books of Charlaine Harris', Southern Vampire Series. You can find these books at your library, book store, or even your super market as they are best sellers.
