archeologist. They don t seem to have much in common, but what I found appealing in these professions was pushing borders. The borders of speed and power, and of space and time. I was always interested in professions that proved that borders can be pushed, that there was more to achieve than we thought. I still have this fascination, but my focus is on human potential now. Think about what you wanted to be as a kid, what was your dream? 3. Pursue your dreams, the universe will help

2) Performing Art Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it s because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It s your mission on earth. And when you want THE ALCHEMIST 1) Dreams are possible to achieve. There are a lot of names and explanations for this phenomenon, but they main thing is that it s *You knew what you wanted when you were young. 2) When pursuing your dreams, fight for it even when your love ones are pulling you to not do. *Pursue your dreams, the universe will help 3) Overcome the fear of defeats. 4. Pursue your dreams, don t fear failure *Pursue your dreams, don t fear failure 4) If you want to excel, stretch yourself out. *Make decisions and learn from the journey Only one thing makes a dream impossible: the fear of failure. People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don t deserve them, or that they ll be unable to achieve them. Two quotes for this lesson. Don t fear failure, expect success. Fearing failure will do two things: 1. Dreams get the juices flowing It s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. It s not the dream come true that makes life interesting, it s the possibility of it happening. The journey is as important as the destination, however without a destination (your dream) the journey is without direction and loses its meaning. So dream that dream, and pursue it. 2. You knew what you wanted when you were young It (destiny) is what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny. This had me thinking, can I remember the time in my life where everything was clear and everything was possible? Not really. I do remember wanting to be fighter jet pilot, astronaut or so true. If you have a dream and really want to achieve it, look at the world with an open mind and you will recognize all the signs and all the people that will help you along the way. You can call it the Law of Attraction, or destiny, or the power of visualization, or synchronicity, or whatever. Share your dream with the world and focus on realizing it, and you will get help. something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

 

It will prevent you from taking action, and without action you re not moving It will increase the likelihood of failure happening (as you so actively visualize it)

Reframing failure might also work, I like this saying about failure: It s not falling that we call failure, it s neglecting to get up again. 5. Make decisions and learn from the journey Making a decision was only the beginning of things. 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. There is only one way to learn, the alchemist answered. It s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey. Making a decision and committing to action are not results, they are the start of something powerful. They set forth a chain of events, a strong current, that take you further on your

journey. Enjoy that journey as it will take you place you did not expect, but they provide you with lessons to learn that you need to realize your dream. 6. Love makes us better When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. Love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. Love will not get in the way of realizing your dream. If you let love be the reason for giving up on your dreams, you subconsciously will blame love for it later in your life. You ll look at the one you love with an underlying feeling of remorse, which in turn will sabotage your love. If we love we strive to be become better than we are, better as a partner, as a parent or as a person. The love will only deepen when we allow ourselves and others to pursue their dreams and love them for the journey they take. 7. You never lose control What s the world s greatest lie? the boy asked, completely surprised. It s this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That s the world s greatest lie. This one is so important. You never lose control! There are always decisions to make, always actions to take. There may be stages in our journey in life that will be difficult and that need perseverance. Stay in touch with that dream, and never ever give in to the feeling that you can t do it. You are in control!

4. One must surrender oneself to the universe. Coelho suggests that we must allow ourselves to be open to recognizing and learning from omens and signs which come our way.

Four Pillars of Alchemy four important tips for finding one s Personal Legend: 1. One must believe in The Soul of the World. The ancient Latin term for this concept is anima mundi. In short, this idea suggests that everything in the world is interconnected; that is, what one does affects everything else, from the smallest grain of sand to the largest whale, and vice versa. Writers and thinkers such as Plato, Walt Whitman and Khalil Ghibran have attempted to illustrate this interconnectedness in their works. 2. One must listen to the voice of the heart. Coelho suggests that sometimes we must follow our feelings and intuitions, even if we do not fully understand them. Through feeling one gains wisdom. 3. One must be faithful to one s dreams, for they both test and reward us. In other words, the path to achieving one s Personal Legend may not be an easy one, but we must endure the tests in order to gain the rewards.
