Powerful Life Leons
As my wife and I were planning our last vacation, one of the first things we did was get out a map and plan our route.Whether it was online maps or old fashioned paper mapsleons that are as fresh and applicable today as they were hundreds of years ago.The leons by themselves are interesting, but it’s only when they are applied, that the power of personal transformation can be unleashed.So what can Paulo teach us about life and pursing dreams in the face of obstaclesthat caused 65 million people to buy his book?
1.It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.I believe this to be true and have experienced this with my own family.When I think of the times where we laughed the most or had the most funall simple things making up the best times we’ve had as a family.Question: What were some of the happiest memories from your past? What were you doing?
2.Support your children in pursuit of their dreams.In the beginning of the story the shepherd boy(named Santiago)tells his father he wants to travel and see the world.The father explains he wants his son to stay in the village and become a priest.But Santiago persistsin not-so-subtle-waysit may be more accurate than you think.6.Follow your dreams.There are many of us who dream our dreams without ever actually realizing any of them.For whatever reason we get locked in a “dream state” and never take action.We analyze too much and our dreams turn into giant mountains in our imagination that seem impoible to climb.As a result, we never learned that foreign language we’ve always wanted to learn, or traveled, or started that busine, or written that book.Just think of the many bestsellers that would have been, but were never written.The time is now, to awake from dreamland, to live the life we want and to achieve
the extraordinary potential within us all.Question: What are some dreams you’d like to realize now? Write them down on a piece of paper and make sure the succe of their attainment is measurable.7.Know what you want.Set goals and make a plan to achieve them.It’s like the saying, “a goal that is never written down is nothing but a New Year’s resolution”always look forward.It’s ok to look back once and a while, but don’t live in the past.You can visit “pity city” for a short time, but after a while you have to leave it all behind and walk on.10.You will encounter obstacles and take detours while realizing your dreams.As you strive to achieve your dreams, you can count on there being some setbacks and disappointments.Don’t get discouraged, the road to your dreams may not be an easy one.Think of these challenges as tests of persistence and courage that life throws at you during your quest.They were neceary and were meant to help you grow as a person.Learn to adjust the sails of your life to unpredictable winds, while keeping your focus clear on your destination.11.Don’t fear the unknown.As long as you’re resourceful and have a few skills, you’ll be able to provide for yourself(and your family).Have confidence in yourselfat all times.12.Learn to understand the universal languagethese thingsare all part of the unspoken language.The more conscious we become at noticing them, the better we become at interpreting them..
