The Way I See It #204

 Remember your dreams and fight for them.

You must know what you want from life.

There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

Never forget your Personal Legend.

Never forget your dreams.

Your silent heart will guide you.

Be silent now.

It is the possibility of a dream that makes life interesting.

You can choose between being a victim of destiny or an adventurer who is fighting for something important.

- Paulo Coelho

Aside: "The Way I See It" is a series of conversation starters on the side of takeaway paper Starbucks' cups. This cup struck me because I've read Coelho's book 'The Alchemist' and find his writing style and thoughts provoking.

Thanks for coming by Vijay!

This is the line that gets me the most...

"You can choose between being a victim of destiny or an adventurer who is fighting for something important."

Can you guess which one I would choose?

Good stuff Steve. I too needed Coelho's words just now. Funny how they got to me... from his publisher to a coffee cup to a firebreathing blogger to my inbox... this new world gives God so many more ways to surprise us.

Grace and strength to you and your family!

Hey man, long time no "see". That's a good quote. What do you think he means by "Never forget your Personal Legend"?

I'm thinking he probably means Legend, as in your Story.

My mind also goes to legend, as in a "person of extraordinary accomplishment".

The most interesting usage to me, though, would be if he meant legend, as in "a key to the symbols and color codes on a map, chart, etc." Maybe a solid understanding of our passions, purpose, desires is our "personal legend". It is the key by which we interpret, navigate, and make sense of the "map", which is our journey.

Thanks for making me think tonight.
