Destiny

Paulo Coelho describes destiny as something that is unlike fate, where it comes to you no matter what, but something that you actually have to put some effort in, in order to achieve it. He states in his novel, The Alchemist, that in order to fulfill your destiny and to win your ‘treasure’, you must listen to your heart and follow it despite the fact that it can lead you into difficult and fearful situations. However, if you doubt that you will find your destiny and ignore what your heart is communicating to you, it will become silent because it is afraid of being disappointed just as it is mentioned in the novel; ‘fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself’. All in all, listening to your heart and following it is the most essential thing to do in order to acquire your ‘treasure’ and to find the true meaning of one’s life.
