The Alchemist

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I learned that I totally agree. As we age we don't listen to our hearts and we aren't aware of our own Personal Legend.

It is all chance? I am trying to figure out when I stopped listening to my heart and it was probably likely to have happened once I hit adolescence. As a teenager, other things and other people become so much more important. The need to fit in and feel accepted probably had me give up on my personal legend...although I have no idea what it was. What was it that I wanted to be when I grew up? What was it I desired to do? So sad...that I can't remember.

I recommend this book to everyone. We all need a reality check. Maybe we can discover our Personal Legends as adults... I am going to try.
