There is sometimes a bit of confusion in regards to a passage of my book The Alchemist: “And when you really want something, the world conspires to make a dream come true”.
Mind you, some people sometimes want things that in the end won’t truly help them. The Universe is merely an echo of our desires, may they be constructive or destructive ones.
One has also to keep in mind the difference between a dream and an obsession, which is the same difference that lies between personal legend and zahir.
When you follow your personal legend, you walk your path and learn from it. The objective doesn’t blind you to the road that takes you there.
On the other hand obsession is what prevents you from admiring the teachings of life. It’s like trying to get to your objective without passing through the challenges.
I realized that despite the fear and the bruises of life, one has to keep on fighting for one’s dream. As Borges said in his writings “there is no other virtue than being brave”.
And braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.
-Paulo Coelho
