The adventure continues

I just finished reading Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. What a fantastic story about following your dreams and listening to your heart. The journey the shepherd took to find his treasure was one rich with adventure. And for him, the most daunting journey for him was inside. All the fears and doubts were so real. He questioned whether the dream was worth pursuing, whether the slings and arrows and trips would amount to anything. They did. At one point, he had to wake up, or actually reawaken, to the things his heart was saying to him, because it was pointing him in the right direction. The journey for his treasure wasn't pieces of gold. It was simply to open his heart and dream.
