Have you read The AlchemistThe Alchemist ??

Care to share your opinions on it?

I think it is amazing, and that they should
teach it in schools!!! Here are some quotes:

"We are told from childhood onward that everything
we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea,
and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of
prejudice, fear and guilt. There comes a time when our
personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be
invisible. But it's still there" (vi).

"It's the possibility of having a dream come true that
makes life interesting" (11).

Enjoy!

Bill

      Thank you for reminding me of this amazing book. It really helped me cement a lot of the things that I had been working my way through. I have to say that anything that Paulo Coelho writes is simply beautiful, even his tweets have a sense of wonder within them.

    Thank you Bill for an inspiring post.

    Here's a smilar quote from Eleanor Roosevelt : "The future belongs to those who beleive in the beauty of their dreams."

    I haven't read that book although I believe what you quoted there from that particular passage is so true. When we are fed negative thoughts early in life, we carry them throughout the years suppressing our positive potential.
