Santiego is a shepherd who loves to travel. His biggest dream is to see the whole world. One day he dreams that there is a great treasure waiting for him in the pyramids of Egypt. He tells his dream to a gypsy, who tells him to go to Egypt. At first the shepherd finds this absurd, but then he meets an old man who interprets the dream in the same way. Santiego sells his sheep and everything he has and goes to Egypt.

Before he even reaches Egypt, he has all his money stolen on the first day he arrives on the African continent. He is very sad and does not even have enough money to go back to his country. He starts working for a merchant who sells crystals, and after exactly one year he has saved enough money to return to his country. While preparing for his return, he meets an English traveler. He learns from the English traveler that there is a 200-year-old alchemist living in a village near the pyramids. He decides to find this alchemist and follow his dreams with the traveler and sets out on the road again.

When he arrives at the village where the alchemist lives, he falls in love with a girl even before he finds the alchemist. Thinking that she is the treasure he is looking for, he asks her to marry him. After a while he meets the alchemist, who tells him that this is not true and that he must go to the pyramids. Santiego once again sets off in pursuit of his dreams.

It was a summary from Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. I didn't write the end, I strongly recommend you to read it.

Our dreams and desires, happiness and beauty are not as far away as we think. It is always somewhere inside us, in our thoughts, in our beliefs, in our heart. You just need to get to know your creative mind, you don't need alchemy to get the magic. Every thought that comes out of your mind is already magic. Every word that comes out of your lips is magic...

Why don't you try an experiment tonight, right now?
Surely you must have a problem, a problem...

Before going to sleep, write down the problem on a piece of paper. When you wake up, the problem is usually solved. In the worst case, it will be solved with the speed of light. Just burn the paper. Forget it and don't pursue it... Learning to use the creative mind is like learning to bake a cake. In the first few attempts, there may be too many eggs, too much milk, etc. The cake doesn't rise or collapses. When you learn, with great wisdom and patience, you put the ingredients in the right consistency and quantity, mix them and pour them into a tray. You know the result you want and the formula you need. And you know the time it takes to bake in the oven, and you wait patiently. If you try to speed up the process, you will burn it.

In other words, you plant the seed of a tomato in the ground. You provide sunlight, water it and wait patiently. You know you cannot speed up the process. And you don't open the soil every day to check how the seed is doing, when the tomato will appear. If nothing abnormal happens, you are sure that a tomato will come out of the tomato seed.

If you know what you want to achieve and have, do your research, let the information wait for a while, trust, be confident and patient, the answers and the results will come miraculously.

"Those who believe they can move mountains do it, those who don't believe can't. Belief activates the power to do," says Dr. David Schwartz. The attitude of being absolutely sure that you can do it generates the necessary strength and energy. When you believe that you can do it, the how-to energy already starts to build. When the mind does not believe or worries, you cannot succeed anyway.

Expand your limits now. You can only succeed if you say you can. Every word that comes out of your mouth is related to your thought and thought is magic. It is not the thoughts that create suffering but the attachment to those thoughts. Everything that happens to us is because of our attachment and our beliefs. Our beliefs are our thoughts that we have accumulated over the years and that we are attached to. Believing is the sine qua non of achievement and realization. Believe, achieve, realize yourself and DISCOVER THE TREASURE IN YOU...
