Have you met your alchemist yet?

The Alchemist

Paulo Coelho

The writing provokes thoughts, questions and illusions alike in the mind of the reader. The boy traded some of his dear sheep for the stones 'Urim' and 'Thummim' which were to supposedly help him decide. The context is similar to what we can call the coin toss technique some of us apply when in doubt whether to go right or left[wrong]. At the end of the day we somehow overlook the worlds greatest truth that no coin, no stone has the power to decide for us. It is we who must decide, and that shall be the right decision and not the left[wrong].

When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.

Try as you might, the world is so mistrustful of you that they wont believe you even if you tell them the truth. No, its not your fault. It is simply the law of the land, not to believe in words anymore. When you try too hard to see through something, try to seek the meaning behind and overlook the simplicity of the complexity, it just wraps another layer of doubt. Sometimes a gentle pull is all that is required, where the mightiest of pushes fail.

When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help the person to realize his dream.And there is only one thing that males a dream impossible to achieve:fear of failure.

Your heart desires and your mind dreams about it. When your destiny, your dream, your desires are all  the same thing, it is then that you may or may not realize but every animate and inanimate thing in this creation tries to get you closer to your treasure, such is the  law of the universe. Be grateful to the winds,the fire, the oceans, the elements, the plants and the animals. They shall help you along. Bon jour..

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

You thought you will be happy if only you could know the secret of happiness. The shortcut. The elusive technique eh. There is none, there is just the balance. You must look for it , find it and hold on to it. The thin line between what you want and what you get. When you aver from it, you will be unhappy and when you rediscover it, you will be happy again. Do everything, see everything, experience everything in life but never forget what you must do. You will realize your happiness one day. Success. Love. Failure. Heartbreak. Victory. Peace. War. Death.

Every search starts with beginners luck and ends with severely testing of the seeker's abilities.

Use your beginners luck and  prepare for the tough tests ahead. Fear failure but get past the fear in time and you will succeed.

Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen again.

Success. Love. Failure. Heartbreak. Victory. Peace. War. Death. The list goes on.

.Later.
