I Prescribe Reading To The Fighters Of Our Fight Team All The Time.
The Book "The Alchemist" By Brazilian Author Paulo Coelho Is One Of Them.
His Life Story (Paulo Coelho) Is What Reeled Me Into Reading His Books.
Really Something Else.
I Suggest You Check It Out.
SOME THOUGHTS TO PASS ALONG FROM THE BOOK "THE ALCHEMIST":
In the prologue and introduction, according to Paulo, there are 4 things that hold us back. 4 things that keep us from achieving our dreams, or in his words finding our "Legend".
1. Being taught from an early age, it's not really possible (when it really is).
2. Fear of failure from not just failing, but failing at something you really care about.
3. Love. We believe if we go after what we really want in life, it may hurt the ones we love, for whatever reason.
But,,, if the ones we love, truly love us, they will eventually be on board to support us.
4. Fear again. But, another kind of fear.
Fear of once actually making it happen, achieving your own personal "Legend", living it out, and suffering an unspoken guilt to obtain your dream around many who have not, cannot, for whatever reason, obtain their own dream.
MY THOUGHTS:
His point to all of this (which is explained) is GOD put you on this earth to find your "Legend" and accomplish your TRUE dreams.
The "universe" (GOD'S own system of the way things are), is set up to give you help and assistance along the way, but if you do not believe, trust, and feel worthy, it won't happen.
It won't happen and you will continue to live in a self inflicted unhappiness because it's by your own doing.
If you believe in GOD (a higher power), trust in, no matter how many set backs (set backs is a part of the growing closer to accomplishment process) and keep fighting for what you believe you are worthy of, it will happen.
You will accomplish it, find your own personal "Legend".
The Greatest of all, in regards to discovering and accomplishing your own personal legend, is that it is the greatest way to positively affect humanity.
To find one's own true purpose is where one will have and operate at the highest level, and have the greatest impact on one's own life, which will also impact at the highest level, all those around.
If you are doing what you are truly meant to do, because it comes from a true place, what GOD has put you on this earth to forfill, because you are passionate and inspired, it will have the highest impact to do the same for others.
Think of how a great song can make millions of people feel, how a beautiful painting can invoke inspiration, how a writer can write in such a way, that it can set in motion, a change in others thinking that leads them to their own personal "Legend".
But, all of that had to first come from the singer/songwriter to write and sing, the painter to paint, and the writer to write.
They all had to find and go after what they were inspired to do. What they were meant to do, in order to invoke what their work did for all of us to appreciate and become inspired by them.
WHAT DO I BELIEVE?
The Purpose Of Life Is To Have Purpose.
It Starts With Belief.
Nobody Stepped Into The Ring, Cage, Or Onto The Mat And Won The Championship With A Lack Of Belief.
I Believe Anyone Going After Their Dream Or Having Already Obtained Theirs Can Identify With This.
Like GOD, It's Not Something You Can Prove, But Something You Can Only Experience.
Now Go And Ponder That!
