The Alchemist -4

The shepherd's journey towards his treasure continues. In this concluding series I will not reveal whether he gets his treasure or not, please read the book to find out.  I will definitely share some of the important conversations and some more details from his journey.

This is the piece of the discussion between boy and the Alchemist.

"You already know all you need to know ...except one thing"

"People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them. Or that they'll be unable to achieve them...  Tell you hear that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself"

"Is that the one thing I still needed to know?" asked the boy,

" No" said the alchemist answered " What you still need to know is this: before the dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we have learned as we've moved towards that dream.

That's the point at which most people  give up. It is the point at which, as we say in the language of the

desert, 'one dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon' "

Isn't it true for all of us? many times we give up things which matter to us before they are realized, somewhere doubting our abilities or giving up to the circumstances.

• Darkest hour of dawn comes just before the dawn
• One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving
• Men dream more about coming home than about leaving
• There is only one way to learn - It is through action
• It can not be understood by reason alone
• Everyone on earth has a tresure that awaits him
• Finally ...

      When a perosn really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dreams
