yes, its a constant adjustment… a whirlwind of stillness… its our ability to keep still in the eye of the storm… we keep on seeking and gradually achieving stillness
I would like to thank Paulo Coelho very much for being such an inspiring writer. Before I read “The Alchemist” , I was on the verge of letting go of my dream and just going with the flow, but thanks to the most inspiring reader of his time, if not of all time, I decided to persuade my dream even if it means sacrificing a lot
thank you Paolo Coelho :D
I will only be able to answer this at the end of my life, when I take inventory of all that I wanted against all that I have. I have always wanted to be a mother, and I am, and I wanted this so that I could give life and see it being lifed… I am already half way to my ideal personal legend… stay tuned…
I am a doctor, i’m following my dream as a singer and song writer, right now i’m facing the biggest obstacle that i think i can’t handle anymore.. because when i do so, it cause massive damage to myself and love ones around me. Should i quit?
It’s been a long journey i leave my doctor live and i have trying far over my endurance, and i’m thinking to get back on track as a doctor.
Do You think i come over so far to find that i can’t reach this?
Hope somebody have the answer,
In following one’s dream many obstacles turns up. One have to do a regular check up with the dream one is following,such as “is it only a dream”? Or “is this really my path”?
If you cause massive damage to yourself and your loved once, check again. If your dream still is true, find another way to follow it. if you really follow your dream it can’t damage you. If your dream damage you and your loved ones you might have taken the wrong road.
Following a dream can be hard and a difficult challenge, often as to try to see if you really follow your dream or just the idea of it. But, don’t talk your walk, walk your walk, don’t give up!
I followed my dream, it took me 13 years to fulfill it………

It takes more courage to follow your dream than to do what others expect or could benefit from you. Creator gave you this life ….the biggest form of thankfulness is to enjoy it. This is not selfish at all! By enjoying your life you will inspire others to do it too and be in peace with themselves. Listen to this wopg.org….it is the most beautiful sweet message you can hear. We are here and alive to enjoy the beautiful simplicity of it. Massive damage to you or anyone sounds like you are carrying a load much heavier than you can handle. You are not superman! No one is! Success is when you feel good period, not being doctor or a billionaire …..with love from one human being to another

I think I have been following my personal legend in a dreamy, playful way and with a lot of curiosity; not even thinking a lot. it looks as if my intuition and unconscious guided me – luckily. I used to be very fearful to … everything that was unknown.
If I had thought & planned my personal legend including this fear, I probably would have had a much more narrowed life.
at the beginning when I was young, it looked like nothing. and still, sometimes I got upset when things did not work out as I expected.
today, looking back, I can see much more a pattern and a flow. things that had made me upset when they happened and I did not understand and experienced negatively, were actually incidences where I had to learn and prepare to be here in this now. to live one’s personal legend in my way has been not a straight way, a road with hills or flat, bumpy and curves… but it has been just a preparation.
what I am doing now and I love & find myself fully, this did not even exist at the time of my birth, or 20 years ago … so, it also would have not been possible to prepare fully for my way.
when things went differently as I expected I began to calm down after some time, trying to trust that I was guided.
It is really hard to know what your legend is. I’m 18 and still struggling to find it out. But I deeply truly know that it shall be revealed soon! Don’t give up everybody!
What if my personal legend is to find my soulmate? Is that valid? I know that “personal legend” is different for each person on this planet. I have aspirations in life that I want to make real, but I believe the most important one is to find love. Not that your family and friends don’t love you, but I want to find the kind of love that you see when you look at an 80-year-old couple still holding hands after all those years…
It might be a big part of finding your personal legend, but I don’t think that your personal legend is to find your soulmate. He or she will make you feel more complete, but you’ll have to try hard to find yourself first. Most couples lack of their own personal legend, you can identify them by accusing their partner…
how romantic what you want, i like this sentence, holding hands after all those years i think its reality and it can be find this type of love, but during those years how could these couple treat each other specialy we are leaving in a strange horrible world that’s make us to lose the trust and beleiving in each other.

yes! i am living it out right now!
no.that’s why i’m sad..my life is dull..=(
Why you think your life is dull? Tried to reach out for a friend who you trust? Give them a call/email or just visiting them, they will help you out.

Paulo’s voice might help:
“A search always starts with Beginner’s Luck
and ends with the Test of the Conqueror.”
You have to find out why your personal legend does
damage to yourself and loved ones?
What are you afraid of?
All the best!
