The Alchemist
This book is full of wise tidbits intricately woven into an amazing, coming of age story.
I have read this book on my own as well as introduced it to my kids. Obviously, I highly recommend it.
If you are not a reader… Try the audiobook here, read by Jeremy Irons.
This book is filled to the brim with amazing quotes. The quote that is most often referred to is:
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”.
But my favorites are:
“The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself… no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.”
and…
“People are capable at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”
We fear so many things in life but the truth is that we can be, do or have anything and everything we have ever dreamed of. The universe really does conspire in our favor, sometimes it’s just hard for us to let it.
