Trusting the Power of your Dreams
And little by little, my dream was becoming a reality. Ten, a hundred, a thousand, a million copies sold in America…I opened a copy of Vanity Fair and there was Julia Roberts declaring that she adored my book….What’s the secret behind such a huge success?
The opening above was from Paulo Coelho, author of “the Alchemist“.
Like Santiago, a character in his book, he became aware of his “Personal Legend“. A way to align with his unique purpose originating in the soul of the Universe. That special path chosen for him on earth.
Are you walking down your Personal Legend Path? The familiar signs along its journey are easy to recognize. “Work” feels inspired down this magical road where time does not exist.
Courage to take action
Do you have the courage to take the path once it is recognized? This seems an illogical question, yet many prefer to remain in unfullfilling lives rather than risk the unknown. Coelho supplies numerous reasons that most often stem from a basic fear of failure.
“I am afraid that great disappointment awaits me, and so I prefer to dream”
-The Crystal Seller, the Alchemist
I’ve also told of my own experiences dealing with this type of fear before.
What about Law of Attraction
From those who are interested in manifesting wealth using the Law of Attraction another problem is often heard:
I don’t see a way to make money doing what I love.
It’s important to set aside monetary gain when starting down this path. Have faith in the inspired action. This is what the book’s author Paulo Coelho did. He continued to struggle establishing himself as a writer despite his doubts (even though fear of failure caused him to delay this masterpiece for 10 years). Once you are aligned with your purpose, it may be that you discover new talents or meet new people which ultimately leads to the financial wealth desired.
Points to Ponder from the Alchemist/Coelho:
Know that the Universe is conspiring in your favor, even though you may not understand how.
Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.
Remember, you can’t go wrong moving towards the pure desires in your heart. The Universe wants to help you achieve them!
