“When you want something all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.”
On my sixteenth birthday, a close friend of mine gifted me The Alchemist by Paul Coelho. The novel wasn’t just any fictional story but within it held prominent and heart-touching philosophies that served as a method of motivation and encouragement for me during a time of confusion, stress, and chaos. The story was a journey of following one’s dreams and learning the language of the world. But what’s the language of the world? Well that’s to be sought out in the various signs life gives us of which we are usually oblivious to.
While reading this book, seven quotes/sayings really stuck out to me and touched my heart forcing me to dig deeper within myself to be able to connect and resonate with this journey. Those quotes still play a major role in my life especially during adversity, confusion, or when the feeling of being “lost” consumes me. The Alchemist is one of my dearest possessions and of which has taught me the significance behind of having a soul and what life truly means.
Listen to your heart for it knows what will make the soul happy.
-Infinite Love and Gratitude,
Malika
