Coming in full circle with ''The Alchemist''

So I just finished reading 'The Alchemist' by Paulo colho what an incredibly gifted writer I was in absolute AWE through out the entire book. Such a spirit. One to mirrior my own. It had me thinking about how our pursuit of riches has blinded us to our immense capabilities as human beings. We could all inspire like this, we could all be greater than what daily propaganda proposes. When You die what will be painted on the walls? What quotes will they pull from your repertoire? What will you be remembered for? The Alchemist opened me up to how really beautiful life can be when one decides to live freely and not imprison themselves with norms. I truly now believe in destiny. I believe in my own destiny which is being the best person I can be right now, on earth, in Zambia, as a man who as been given a talent to write so others can forgive themselves. The the main character in the book was fortunate to have a parent who was very supportive in his son's independence in thought and the way he chose to live his life. I hope one day when I have children of my own I can impart the same sense of independence in them, and let them live their lives according to what they will percieve is right let them make their own mistakes and hopfuly they grow from them. The truth is there is always a chance for self reflection in every moment, in every breath, there is also a chance to learn. I would love say thank you to my very good, good friend 'Adara' for sending me this book for my 19th birthday what a gift priceless, it honesty couldn't have come at a better time in my life.
