Books Between Covers

The Alchemist is story of a boy, Santiago who has a dream and has the courage to follow it. He follows the signs of light. During his search he comes across several adventure and road blocks but finally he finds his treasure. The two lines which make a lot of sense to me are:

"Treasure lies where your heart belongs"

This is very true. We all dream for something but abandon it due to some reason or the other. But what that reason is? Is this the society or our responsibility or something else? Nothing stops us from pursuing our dreams but our own vices. It is the sense of insecurity. We feel comfortable doing what we are doing right now. It doesn’t matter what we want to do. But as the time passes we feel caged by the mundane work. Unsatisfied with the work and life, we start blaming on others.

I do believe in my dream and work to fulfill it. But I came across another question. If everyone starts following his dream will this world not become chaotic? Who will take the responsibility?

"When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true"

I have observed it personally. When you have a strong desire for something the things fall into place automatically. It might take some time to happen but if we keep calm and keep working for it the desire comes true.
