finished the alchemist awhile back. just found this stuck in my blogger drafts. here the lines that made me dog ear the page. powerful stuff. have you read it?“it’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
“people are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”
“when you really want something, the universe always conspires in your favor.”
“there was a language in the world that everyone understood, … the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.”
“making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”
“people need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.”
“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate alawys on the present, you’ll be a happy man. You’ll see that there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heavens, and that tribesmen fight because they are part of the human race. life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living right now.”
special thanks to shay for letting me borrow it, bobby's dog, mose, for ripping her copy up, and bobby for buying a new one for me to return.
