That book is amazing! when i was a kid i wanted to be sooooooo many things i am not now :) i guess its the way it is. dreams are a really important part of our childhood, but when as we mature, we start realising that everything needs hard work to achieve!!

nice post:)
 

"she always lived alone in a small modern house, and someone would always knock the door to leave a baby at her door step, which she would take care of"

That is exactly what I want

NWMH, so have you thought about it? Please fill us in!

F, yep A LOT of hard work but i'm sure its worth it :)

Sarah! Are you serious!? afa.. tawich it7ebeeni?

W, lighting- i love lighting. Don't get into politics they'll assasinate you.

MsBaker, May God lead you to your destiny. I am sure its a great one.
 

i used to (and still) dream about being an actress, dancer, & singer.
 

Dear Readers,

Thank you all for your inputs.

May i say that this post is about destiny rather than then dreams we had as children.

Destiny is the purpose we have been put in this life for.

So what is your destiny?

Regards,

Sheba
 

luminous, & now what do you want to be?

Wasi,
lol!
 

Destiny is what you cannot prepare for, but will always come knocking at your door. So, if you want to be prepared for it at anytime, install a door bell in case destiny knocks and you do not hear it.
 

I have The Alchemist sitting on my bookshelf waiting to be read.. I think I've subconsciously put off reading it because I don't want to acknowledge the fact that my life didn't turn out the way I had dreamed..

Either that, or I'm too busy blogging to find time to read it!
 

Dear Readers,

Thank you again for your very emotionally intelligent inputs. It seems that we have been thirsty for this kind of contemplation.

Reading your comments, I felt i am not alone, i felt the presence of each and every one of you. I even felt the presence of the only person i know who actually knows his destiny and was not afraid to acknowledge it- MAD M2000.

Purg, your comment seems cynical at a glance, but i understand the meaning behind it.

Msbaker, it’s in the Omens :) The choices you made led you to your destiny. Or maybe it was a beginning to the achieving it, and i am sure you would.

Remember, when you really want something, the forces of the world conspire to give it to you. But there are many tests and hardships before that happens. Do not confuse these hardships with your destiny :)

Zaydoun, it’s an easy read. Probably the easiest book i read by Paulo Coelho, which makes you think again and again 'if it’s so simple, why have i neglected this for so long'. I must add that it is a very positive book, one which not only propels you to think, but also to act.
 

Sheba,

no it was not :) but if as you said, if you read it carefully you will understand what I mean.
 

Dear Sheba,

May I suggest "The five people you meet in Heaven".

If you are in the "what's my purpose...where does my destiny lie" mood.

I found myself reflecting on my life and people I have met while reading it.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Truly,
Misguided

When I was little, I dreamed of discovering the true meaning of life & I would tell the world & there would be peace from then on, all over the world: between countries and between all people and, most importantly to the little girl I was, in my home.

Now, many many MANY years later, though the path has been crooked, I find myself working on just these issues, in every dimension of my life.

I do not have much Arabic, but here is a favorite: Wa Alaikum Al-Salaam Wa Rehmat Allah Wa Barakatoh

Thanks Sheba
