By: Paolo Coelho
Why do you have what you have now? From our early years, we've been geared to attain "the best" which is why we were sent to good schools and parents and elders almost telling us what decision to make. A lot of us, however, just acted on the urgings of those around us and so we fail to understand why we decided to do what we do.
Much like the pilgrimage of Coelho in Spain, he was so focused on reaching his objective, which is finding the sword taken away from him, and he never thought of what he would do with it as soon as he gets it back. The journey on the road to San Tiago allowed him to fully realize this. What kind of journey would it take for us to discover ours?
Paulo Coelho's clever story-telling touches again another human behaviour on a spiritual plane. Thought provoking as his style is, he also urges us to try the sugggested exercises in the novel and discover our existence, and master our self.
