Quotes from the Alchemist

-





‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho has always been my favourite book. I might have read it innumerable times and have lost count of how much the quotes of the book have been repeatedly written in my diary and in my journal and in my social media posts

So here are a few quotes which I would like to write in today’s post on #Sundayswag .The quotes have inspired me at every stage in life to believe in my dreams and to listen to my heart .
Sharing a few below to bring joy in your life and to inspire you to believe in your dreams no matter what

1. And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

2. It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting

3. One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

4. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

5. The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.

6. Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure

7. Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

8. Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.

9. This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.

10. Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life

11. At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie.

The process is interconnected, starting with our emotions and ultimately shaping our external reality. Here’s a breakdown of this transformative journey: 1.

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home.

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to lose ourselves in the art of people-pleasing, seeking validation and approval from those around us. Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1. Seeking External Validation: Carrie's relentless pursuit of external validation struck a chord with my former self. Today, I no longer seek approval to defin...
