Understanding the Language and Soul of the World

I just finished reading this book, as seen above.

A simple story,

yet,

a simple story that everyone can put themselves in the position of the main character.

Sometimes life doesn't go as planned.

Are you sticking to a life plan you are just comfortable with

or

following God's plan for you,

while following your heart?

Makes me not want to take life for granted.

I am so blessed.

I suggest reading this book.

Here are some of my favorite quotes of Paulo Coelho, a wise man indeed, from The Alchemist that I marked,

As well as a quote from Pres. Monson that I feel supports the theme of this book:

"You do not find the happy life - you make it."

***

“..people need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want”

“Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity.”

“You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuit, it’s because it wasn’t true love…the love that speaks the Language of the World.”

“The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom. That’s what I mean by action.”

“Wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.”

“The darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn.”

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

“When you are loved, there’s no need to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you.”

“Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.”

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”

“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.”
