The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho
No reason is needed for loving.
Don't think about what you've left behind. Only yhink about the best way of moving forward.
When you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it. This happens because your desire is originated in the soul of the world.
There is only one way to learn and endure life. It’s through action.
Use your imagination and see the world in terms of what you would like to see happen, not what actually does.
Don’t live in either your past or your future. Always concentrate on the present.
What is true will endure. The right decision will be the one that withstands the tests of time.
It’s usually the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary
With each passing obstacle, there is a lesson to learn. Remember, it's not the destination, but the journey that counts.
Focus on your own journey and ignore those who want you to lead a different life.
No heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams. Dreams are the language of God.
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life truly interesting.
Realizing your destiny is the only obligation you have.
We all have our own personal legend. When you trust your path and surrender to your personal calling, you are already living your dream.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Takeaway #6: The Ripple Effect
Takeaway #3: Maktub – It Is Written
When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.
Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
Most often that not, fear is a bigger obstacle than the obstacle itself (the fear of failing, the fear of realizing your dreams, etc).
Learn to listen and follow your heart. You will never be able to escape from your heart, so it's better to listen to what it has to say.
