Alchemist and Our Hearts
When you want something with all your heart, then you are connected to the natural order of the Universe. Some say it is the Soul of the World. A positive force. This is true of man, animal, vegetable, mineral, energy, etc.
“Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is
alive… and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize
that it is working for us.” We have an abundant Universe, so why do we choose Scarcity?
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked, when they had made camp that day.
“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.”
“My heart is a traitor,” the boy said to the alchemist, when they had paused to rest the horses. “It doesn’t want me to go on.”
“That makes sense. Naturally it’s afraid that, in pursuing your dream, you might lose everything you’ve won.”
“Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?”
“Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet.”
“My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,” the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with Source and with eternity.”
