They say wisdom meets you where you’re at. You won’t understand anything above your current level of comprehension.That’s what happened when I read The Alchemist for the first time, three years ago. I was able to comprehend only a little from the story.But then I had decided to read the book for the second time and I couldn’t believe the wisdom I was able to decipher on life purpose, dreams, decisions, persistence, mindfulness, love, learning, meditating, courage and others.I collected these 100 powerful quotes from the book, hopefully you will be able to resonate with them, or at least some of them. Good luck!It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
