Faith

This may not be the most original or thoughts, but it is for those who need it, like I - coz in life we do not go around discovering new things every day. Sometimes we just need to re-discover or re-visit that we once or always believed in, yet have forgotten to dust off lately . . .

I ve always believed in "The Alchemist". There are a lot of ppl out there who de call it cheesy or breezy or something of the sort. They can stop reading at this point . . .

"What you still need to now is this: before a dream is realised, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realising our dreams, master the lessons we've learned, as we've moved toward that dream. That's the point at which most people give up. It's the point at which as we say, in the language of the desert, one 'dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon'.

Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested.

The boy remembered an old proverb from his country. It said that the darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn."

Believe it or not, world is not evil. Life will throw challenges every now and then, but then those r the experiences that make us who we are. Often we look back and are proud of the way we did things, without realizing that today maybe another such day, where you need to take a stand, mark a milestone in your own life, do something you will look back on with pride tomorrow.

And that's also the beauty of it.
