Find it.  Pursue it.  Let the universe conspire to help you attain it. 

This, of course, is in regards to your 'personal legend.' 

Thumbing through the 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho, I am reminded of what we are intended to do.  The book is about a Spanish boy who chose to be a shepherd because it empowered him to travel; something he always knew he was destined to do.  He had recurring dreams of visiting the pyramids of Egypt and gradually learns that his treasure lies in wait for him there.  It is a journey he must make.  There are overwhelming odds against him ever getting there, but it is his life's mission, so he must make the effort.  When he recognizes this, and embraces it -- the universe conspires to help him get there.....even though it takes years.  There are signs, or 'omens' along the way that he is attuned to -- and these help to keep him on his path, despite the risk of poverty, and even death.

The boy evolves at an extraordinary rate during the pursuit of his personal legend.  He opens his mind to new possibilities and learns to speak the language of the universe, connect to its source, learns that real love is selfless, that we are all one with every element of the universe, that one door closing leads to the opening of windows -- and all of this happens in a strange & beautiful sequence of interconnected synchronicities.  In the end, persistence and self-faith will always prevail -- because the universe knows whether or not you are being true to yourself.

We can learn a great deal from this book.  For me, every line resonates with truth.  Take a moment to reflect on where you are in your life & what may be holding you back from the pursuit of your personal legend.  The pursuit of a personal legend is something that a spouse, or loved one, should support.  Keep that in mind.  You can go about your life, as it is.....without making any ripples.......or you can go forward, align yourself with the immutable laws of the universe, pursue your personal legend & make your life extraordinary.  

I am reminded of a quotation from the movie Dead Poet's Society when Professor Keating is having his students look at old photographs of students from years ago.......

"Now I'd like you to step forward over here. They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? --- Carpe --- hear it? --- Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."
