TGiF! Enjoy one of our top picks in today’s Friday Faves…
One of the most inspiring books I have ever had the pleasure of reading is The Alchemist, by Paulo Coehlo. I happened to read it while traveling in India, an opportune time to hear the author’s underlying message of chance and opportunity. I’m not one to hang onto books after I’ve read them, but this one is still sitting on my bookshelf, even years later. To say it changed my thinking would be an understatement.
The Alchemist is an inspirational story about a boy following his dream. The story shows us how chance meetings and unfortunate events can ultimately lead to a better life. The most striking aspect is that the even horrible and life-altering events end up leading to other, brighter paths – and even to a golden opportunity.
Understanding this helped me to look at life differently, to see potentially “bad” occurrences as possibilities for newer, greater things. The Alchemist is a tale full of life’s lessons, theories on controlled luck, and the idea that the universe will guide you on the path that is meant for you. It encourages you to follow your dreams.
