A personal legend is the path we decide to take that fills our heart with enthusiasm. It is the path of our dreams.
Last week this idea was given and so I would like for you to share your Personal Legend with us.
Love,
Paulo

I haven’t been able to figure what my legend is. But this far i have decided to be an engineer and work for UN. I am working towards my dream right now. Another dream that I have is marrying a woman of my dream. She was my girlfriend for 3 years. But then we decided to broke up because we have different religion, which is forbid us to marry (based on legal law in our country and our tradition).
Now she has another boyfriend who has the same religion with her. But, I believe that i will have a second chance to love her.
I am one who is lost. My passion is arts, especially drawing. But sometimes I find myself loathing what I do, hating how I draw and color. I cannot even establish a style. I do not know what to do, but without art, it seems I fall to pieces. It’s like ‘damned if you do, damned if you dont’. Yet I am more than these pitiful feelings. There is so much in my heart…i need help.
What if my personal legend eludes me? I would not want to sound negative but what if after years of trying to follow my personal legend, the path which i have chosen and dream t of ever since i was in grade school still eludes me. What if after years of hard work, hours of study and commitment it still doesn't happen? And now with a broken heart i am left to choose whether to abandon that dream and move on to other alternatives or to soldier on hoping I'll pass the next time. I once was very sure of this path that i am taking and now i am uncertain. The books that i use to read with fervor and passion in law school now leaves me with dread.
LadyB……..eautiful… :)
I like your dream, I used to weave similar stories in my head too!

travel, art and humanitarian work has been my dream since i was a kid but i always believed thats what you do in your spare time,and that 4 yr university, getting a secure job and good benefits is what everyone should do.
im 25 and looking back at my life there have been many happenings that kept pushing me to that dream and i kept fighting against it….its only now, something clicked in me (from my countless prayers im sure) that to travel around the world and doing some creative work among the poorest of the poor is all i want to do. i honestly feel dead and life seems pointless if im not working towards this.
even though my life seems in shambles right now, because im now working towards this dream, this is also the first time i know what passion feels like and what it feels like to want to fight or give your life for something and nothing else matters
I am a creative writer finding my path in the world where I weave my dreams into words. I blog to let my mind and my soul connect with what is around me. When I read witch of Portobello ..It seemed like a story out of my life maybe a life I would have wanted to live or lived in my dreams somewhere. It touched me.
I am been reading you for sometime now and follow your updates on Facebook. somewhere deep it all connects and gives me more insight into who I am and what is my purpose in Life.
Thank you for being the light.
Some things have been realised. The first thing I really wanted to do was the Pyrenees High Level Route or Haute Randonnee Pyreneeenne in French. Done that when I was 23. It was a sort of pilgrimage for me. After that, I needed a new challenge and I started to climb. It was my dream to climb the 7th grade, but it is still unrealised, because my two climbing-friends both married and stopped. It was not easy to find a new, reliable and experienced partner.
So I focussed more on running, preferably in the mountains. Done several marathons in Switzerland and more recently the Ultratrail of the Tour du Mont Blanc.
There is still a mountain waiting for me in the Dolomites. I don´t know if I shoud do it or not. Time will tell.
♫♪♫♪My dream is and always has been Love. Ever since I can remember I always wanted to find that one person that I would share my life with, that would make my heart race, my senses explode and my emotions boil. I would weave stories in my mind of different ways we would meet, things we would do, fights we would have and how our love would conquer all obstacles. Little did I know that my dream lover was me all along. No one outside yourself can make your dreams a reality. Love is out there, yes. In many forms with many faces and I've felt and lived a great many of them with their triumphs and defeats but especially wit their lessons. Now I embark on another dream which is putting the stories that float inside my head down on paper. That takes courage and that is the test, do I love myself enough to proceed? The answer, of course is yes. So now I write to empty my love, feelings and thoughts out of myself so I can be filled back up again with new ones, and all the while I write, I still wait for that other part of me that will add his love to the one that is already there and together make life even more wonderful. ♫♪♫♪

it’s music to my ears!yes
I believe I am destined for greatness. I have no idea what that looks like but I just feel I should be doing more. I believe we have many purposes in our lifetime. I lived one of my purpose when I had the pleasure of raising two loving and responsible young people. They are the best thing I've done so far in my life, now I want to realize my next purpose in this world. I want to travel the world, I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures, I want to do something with that so I am open to the possibilities.
Karin, what you wrote was beautiful. What you put in words I also have been feeling. I hope you become that person, who is in you already, as time goes by. Warmth and strength to you.
My dream is to lose all my fears and just to let my heart speak.
And I would like to be a light in this world, who warms others. One time with smoothness, sometimes with hardness, it depends on the situation. I want to be touchable, but not weak. Because then I cannot give rise to life.
I want to take care of even the smallest case, but also want to be able to decide what is important.
In one word, I want my Soul as my (only) chief.
Mi leyenda personal se basa, en el nuevo entusiasmo y alegria que tengo por haber tomado un desicion, aun no se ha empezado a desarrollar. Pero se que esta desicion del verdadero camino que debo llevar me tiene muy emocionada. Dejar atras algo que no me gusta, con la dificultad que conlleva el no estar apoyada por tus padres, es dificil. Pero se que me vere beneficiada a lo largo del tiempo. Se que ellos quiero lo mejor para mi. Pero lo mejor para mi no esta en esa carrera. El bien para mi sera con lo que me sienta mas contenta, complacida y feliz, no aquello que me traiga mayor fluidez economica. Se acercan nuevos rumbos y estoy muy emocionada por ello.
