I wandered while reading the book โlittle did the boy ever know that his desire to understand the world would lead him to discover his Personal Legend?โ.
It's a journey of a shepherd boy who went out to find his Personal Legend. Along the way, he meets different people, faces challenges, and experiences many unfortunate events which do nothing but teaches him to understand the Language that speaks to the Soul of the World. He also realizes that there exists a language that doesnโt depend on words.
Throughout the journey, if he gains wisdom, he also makes some sacrificesโbecause, as history says, nothing truly valuable comes for free. You have to give something in return to gain something. While reading the book, I actually understood the depth behind the word โwhen you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve itโ.

Don't ever stop listening to your heart because one day it might become tired and stop talking to you. The Alchemist reminded us that everything and everyone has their own personal legend to realize. But before that can happen, the Soul of the World tests everything that we learned along the way.

โข โIf good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise. If bad things are,and you know in advance, you will suffer greatlyโ.
โข โYour heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to sayโ.
Honestly, I don't even have any specific count of many lines I loved.
๐๏ธ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: When I ordered the book I didn't know what was written into it. I ordered it because someone experienced in this field said, everyone should read this book. As I opened the first page, I realized that the writer wrote this book with so much love and passion. He never expected this book will be alive despite his absence. He poured his everything into it, and maybe that's why, after reading it several times he never got bored. His writing style is beautiful, he knows how to put imagination into words. Before reading it, I didn't know this book would take me to another world, teach me the deeper meanings behind words like omens and Soul of the World...just like it did for the shepherd boy.
โญ๐๐๐๐๐๐: 8.5/10
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Whether u'r new to reading or a regular reader this book is a mustโread. It'll take u to another world & help u to understand ur true-self.
