NEW BEGINNING

One of the greatest books I've read is the ALCHEMIST by Paulo Coelho. It is indeed one of my all time favorites which I never get tired of reading again and again.

I remember the famous line of the king of Salem, to whom Santiago had conversation with in the plaza, and it goes..


"...Everyone, when they are young, knows what their personal legend is, at that point in their lives, 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 Personal Legend... It's a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realize your Personal Legend. It prepares your spirit and your will, because there is one great truth on this planet; 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. The soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it..."

Now, I am in the point of my life in which I finally have have to realize and look for my Personal Legend. It is my one of my prime purpose in this world. And at this point in time, I have come to realize that seeking my Purpose in life is what will truly make me happy.

I am like Santiago in my own story, I have to discover the hidden treasure which God has in store for me. I started my journey long time ago and will continue to persue the fate that is designed for me to track down from the very beginning of my life. In every stages of my journey, I have met many people which I truly considered a blessing for they have helped me mold my character and I'll forever be thankful to them. Nevertheless, I have to make one step further with a bag of courage with me in order to fulfill my desire. I have to keep convincing myself that it is trully possible to for me to realize my Personal Legend if I am strong enough to face the challenge. I just hope that all the universe will conspire to help me achieve it.
