Recently, I had a chance to reread it again. Well, worth it. :) Had some additional insights.
It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.--yes, if people just knew how to appreciate even the simplest things they do have and not being hoodwinked by envies and jealousies. Some, perhaps, are unquenchable nor insatiable in their tastes.
When someone sees the same people everyday, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.--hhhmmm, just like loving ourselves first before loving others, know ourselves first before knowing others... including the flaws that we have and had.. and changes will eventually be stumbled upon.
The world's greatest lie: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.--It is being controlled by someone named Jesus Christ. It is a simple way of letting us feel that He is in control of everything and we should leave all the things upon Him.
The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness... To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only obligation.--nourished by people's happiness--indeed, that's a blessing, outrageous joy while taking the risks.
Personal Legend, I think, would be the mission and the reason why we were been created by the Creator. In the author's point of view, it's what we have always wanted to accomplish.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
--famous line in this book. Implied explanation.
Treasure is uncovered by the force of flowing water, and it is buried by the same currents.
--It is definitely depends on how we decipher the codes of the enigmatic things that happens on our lives. Whether positively or negatively.
The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.
Like everyone else--I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.
There must be a language that doesn't depend on words. It is the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.
If I can learn to understand this language without words, I can learn to understand the world.
You must always know what it is that you want.
Never stop dreaming.
Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.
... Fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.
You have to think only about the best way of moving forward... The rest is up to Him.
