10 Quotes From The Alchemist to Remind You of Your Life’s Purpose:

1. “You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.”
This quote literally says it all. In life, we essentially have two options: we can follow our hearts, or not. But our dreams will never fade even if we turn our backs on them.
So as Paulo Coelho so wisely said, it’s better to listen to what our hearts have to say because they will be with us forever.
2. “Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.”
The universe showers us with blessings regularly and if we don’t take the time to find gratitude for our many blessings, they lose their sacredness.
3. “When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
As a whole, we are all part of a greater collective consciousness. The more we raise our own vibrations, the more we raise the vibrations of the entire world.
4. “No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.”
Every single thing we think, say, or do ripples on into eternity, changing the course of th world forever. We hold far more power than we realize. We create history in the moment. And the eyes of the world are watching us – always.
5. “And, when you can’t go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward.”
The past is the past. Whatever mistakes we may have made down the road do not define the way that we move forward.
Our purpose is to constantly put one foot in front of the other and find our best way forward from wherever we may be starting.
6. “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
Far too often we are crippled by fear of failure so we refuse to grow out of our cocoons.
Our purpose in life is not to stay stagnant. Our purpose is to grow, and we cannot allow fear of failure to stand in our way.
7. “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
The universe is always on our side. When we set off to fulfill our true purpose, everything falls into place to make that happen, exactly as it is meant to happen.
8. “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself, and no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.”
Again, it is so often fear that holds us back from realizing our dreams and pursuing our life’s purpose. Fear is imagined and anticipated pain and suffering – it is not real.
And as the universe conspires to help us achieve our dreams, our dreams and our purpose become greater than our individual fears.
9. “To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation.”
We’ve been put on this earth for a reason. There is a purpose to this life. Our duty, our dharma, is to discover our purpose and realize it fully.
10. “If it’s still in your mind, it is worth taking the risk.”
So often we put things on the backburner. We tell ourselves we’ll get to it – one day. But those small tugs at our heartstrings will continue to pull until we take the risk and work to fulfill our purpose.
