Inspiration from The Alchemist

by ~ShiningSoulYoga~

If you haven’t already done so, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a wonderful, inspiration book to read about following your dreams. Below are some of my favorite, inspiring quotes from the book:

  • “When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”
  • “When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”
  • “Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.”
  • “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
  • “I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.”
  • “I learned that the world has a soul, and that whoever understands that soul can also understand the language of things. I learned that many alchemists realized their destinies, and wound up discovering the Soul of the World, the Philosopher’s Stone, and the Elixir of Life. But above all, I learned that these things are all so simple they could be written on the surface of an emerald.”
