What book could you read over and over again?
Every time I read “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, I feel so inspired and empowered.
I feel that there’s more to life than just surviving.
I feel there’s a dream that I can chase and it will lead me back home.
A sense of hope fills my heart.
And maybe that’s why I started my first business selling t-shirts online at 20 years of age.
I read this book the last time a few years ago and I will re-read it soon.
I’m glad you read this line. Thanks a lot!
The story of the shepherd in “The Alchemist” reveals that true treasure lies within us. Embracing our inner strengths can lead to success and fulfillment despite life’s challenges.
Let me tell you a story.
The story is from the book “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho . (So spoiler alert!!!)
Briefly the story goes like this –
Once upon a time there was a shepherd in Spain who got a dream in his sleep. The dream was about a treasure.
So he sold all his sheep and went to Egypt to find the treasure.
He faced many challenges. He lost all his money, worked in a shop at a remote place, then became wealthy somehow, etc.
Forgive me if I forgot some things or write the wrong facts in the story.
Then he reached the place(in Egypt) where he was supposed to find the treasure after many years.
And he found nothing there. NO treasure was found.
But he met a person who told him that there’s a treasure in Spain and he described the place.
Then it hit the boy(shepherd) that the place that the person described was the same place where he had the dream of the treasure all those years ago.
Then I guess the shepherd found the treasure.
I guess what I want to tell you through this story is-
You already have everything it takes to be successful and happy.
The treasure is inside you even if you think it’s outside you.
I am in my 3rd semester of MBA Data Science at Amity University Online and I am worried.
I am worried if I will get a good job after getting the degree.
And these are normal worries.
However I realize that like the Alchemist’s story, everything is inside me.
Like the shepherd(boy) I can go after my dreams, I can fulfill my dreams while facing all the challenges and obstacles.
And I need to remember that the real treasure is inside.
And prioritize my own mental health and self-worth.
