Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist
Books February 8th, 2008Follow your heart, follow your dreams on the right track to your destiny.
It is the second time in 5 years that i have read this book and still I am amazed. Beautifully written and biting at the very tips of our souls and grabbing at the strings of our hearts. This story of a little shepard boy brings me to envy each time that I read it. If only our lives could have so many simple choices. Be a baker, a merchant or a shepard - would you have had to think twice ?
I could creep into this little shepard boy’s heart and I could feel the yearnings of his soul, I would have loved to be a travelling writer. I would have loved to just follow my heart to my destiny. But I fear people, life today just simply is not that easy.
Our choices are almost forced and we have to do what is needed to survive. But to a certain degree I think if we put it straight. We all need short term plans to buy our freedom later. So maybe it still comes down to the same point.
The shepard boy had to be robbed and stuck in a job for over a year to actually go in search of his treasure.
Just keep the profound statements in bold in your head. Never ever stop listening to your heart.
This book is captivating and inspiring. Simply written with a massive profound punch line. Stop listening to your heart and your destiny will stop calling you …
