Continuing - - Lessons from The Alchemist

If you are just reading the blog for the first time, I am writing about the lessons I learned from reading the book The Alchemist. So, continuing with the lessons . . . . . "The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. If you improve upon the present, what comes later will also be better." On speaking of the consumption of wine and other alcohol when banned by religion, It is not what enters [men's] mouths that is evil. It is what comes out of their mouths that is. "Wherever your heart is, there you will find your true treasure." "Don't think of what you have left behind. Everything is written in the Soul of the World and it stays there forever." "One way to learn is through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey." "Listen to your heart, it knows all things." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ My hope for you is that you have taken a few of these lessons to your heart for your journey in this amazing life! We have one opportunity each moment of each day, to live or to muddle through, what is your choice? Enjoy a great week! Margaret
