The Messages..

"What's the world's greatest lie?...

It's this:

that at a certain point in our lives,

we lose control of what's happening to us,

and our lives become controlled by fate."

“ …And when you want something –

The universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

The Messages..

"It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary;

only wise men are able to understand them,"

The Messages..

"....intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul

into the universal current of life,

where the histories of all people are connected,

and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there."

"We are afraid of losing what we have,

whether it's our life or our possessions and property.

But this fear evaporates

when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world

were written by the same hand."

The Messages..

“the desert will give you an understanding of the world;

in fact anything on the face of earth will do that

…all you have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sand

and you will see in it all the marvels of creation” 

The Messages..

The Messages..

“Tell your heart that 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."

The Messages..

“…It is the possibility of having a Dream come true…That makes life interesting.” 

The Messages..

""treasure lies where your heart belongs ,"

Every Quest Begins with a

Beginner’s Luck & Ends with the

The Messages..

One of the best books I've enjoyed so far.

This book “The Alchemist” has taught me to follow

what I want to be in life and don't give up my dreams.

And if The Alchemist can help me follow my personal legend.

it can help you as well.

The Review..

The Review..This is an enchanting tale

that will help people reflect upon the meaning of life,

in a touching and meaningful manner
