Paulo Coelho a novelist that helped showing me the way

I have read a couple of his novels and simply they are life changers.so i thought of sharing my view with you and i recommend that u read " the alchemist"

As in it Dreams, symbols, signs, and adventure follow the reader like echoes of ancient wise voices in "The Alchemist", a novel that combines an atmosphere of Medieval mysticism with the song of the desert. With this symbolic masterpiece Coelho states that we should not avoid our destinies, and urges people to follow their dreams, because to find our "Personal Myth" and our mission on Earth is the way to find "God", meaning happiness, fulfillment, and the ultimate purpose of creation.

• Also here are some of my favourite Quotes by paulo coleho from his novels :
• You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.”
• I think that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we're alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange.”
• “No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes.”
• The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
• “"Why do we have to listen to our hearts?" "Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure."”
• A philosophy of life: I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure.
• Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
• You must always know what it is that you want.
• Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
• Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. .... Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now.
