"A philosophy of life: I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure."
~ Paulo Coelho, 21st century Brazilian writer
from The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite teachers. His simple prose is captivating and absolutely inspiring.
In The Alchemist, Santiago, a poor shepherd, finds himself on a journey of self-discovery. Among the many teachers he meets on the way, the alchemist reveals a poignant truth (and theme of the book):
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."
Here's to our alchemy.
