Lessons from the alchemist book
Pursue your dreams -you do deserve them and you can achieve them
Keep listening to your heart, it will give you strength
The journey along the way will teach you things that you wouldn’t have learnt if you didn’t pursue your dreams
All people who are happy have god within them
Everyone on earth has a treasure waiting for them if they follow their heart and pursue their dreams
Pay attention to omens – your heart will show you where the treasure is
Before your dream is realised the world tests everything that was learned along the way – this is to master the lessons we learnt as we’ve moved towards the dream. You will be severely tested.
Through visible objects man can understand spiritual teaching and marvels – the world is only the visible aspect of god
When something evolves everything around that thing evolves as well
When we strive to become better – everything becomes better
When we love/ are loving we strive to become better
Don’t give in to your fears – if you do you wont be able to talk to your heart.
Never fear failure – keep persevering with your dreams
Life will provide you with the omens, the path is written in the omens
Believe in the significance of recurrent dreams
Pursue your Personal Legend
Follow your heart:  The heart is a source of wisdom that knows your deepest desires and fears, and listening to it is crucial for finding your true path. 
The universe conspires: When you commit to a dream, you activate a force that helps you achieve it. This is often felt initially as beginner’s luck. 
Embrace fear: Fear of failure is the biggest obstacle, but the only true failure is not pursuing your dream at all. Every setback is a chance to learn and grow closer to your goal. 
The journey is the reward Obstacles are opportunities:  The path to your Personal Legend is not straight. Each obstacle is an opportunity to learn and understand yourself better. 
Action is key: You must make a decision to move forward, as simply contemplating a dream gets you nowhere. The journey itself provides the wisdom you need. 
Appreciate the present: Don’t let the future or past distract you; the present is where life happens to the fullest. 
Interconnectedness and fate“It is written” This concept suggests that fate is predetermined, but your actions are a necessary part of the path that has been written for you. 
Everything is connected: Your actions have a ripple effect and impact the world around you, and you are all part of the same whole. 
True love supports your dreams: True love encourages you to pursue your personal legend, rather than holding you back.
