The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo

"The Alchemist" is a book written by Paulo Coelho that has sold millions of copies and has become a classic in the world of literature. The book is full of valuable life lessons and has been one of my all-time favorite books. It made me more trust my instincts and believe that the universe does its magic if we only trust in it. And here are the top 3 lessons that can be learned from it:

Follow your dreams
: The book emphasizes the importance of following your dreams and pursuing your personal legend. It teaches us that we all have a unique purpose in life, and we should never give up on our dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem. The protagonist, Santiago, goes on a journey to follow his dream of finding a treasure, and along the way, he learns that the journey itself is more important than the destination.

Trust the universe: The book suggests that the universe conspires to help us achieve our dreams. If we have a clear goal and pursue it with determination, the universe will conspire to help us achieve it. This means that we should trust our instincts and the signs that the universe sends us, even if they don't make sense to us at first.

Embrace the present moment: The book emphasizes the importance of being present and enjoying the journey, rather than focusing solely on the end goal. It teaches us to appreciate the present moment and be mindful of the beauty around us, even in the midst of difficulties. Santiago learns to appreciate the simple pleasures in life, such as the sound of a desert breeze and the warmth of the sun, and this helps him to find joy in every moment of his journey.

Go ahead, try to read the book, it is a simple read, a one-seater, but it will leave you wondering and thinking - what's my personal legend?
