The part 2 of The Alchemist made me think about how easy it is to stay where we're comfortable.
Santiago meets an old king who tells him something that stayed with me: everyone has a purpose, but many people give up on it because of fear, comfort or what others might think.
One thing I appreciated was that Santiago didn't have everything figured out before he started his journey. He simply took the next step.
That reminded me that sometimes we're waiting for certainty when all we really need is obedience and courage.
I'm learning that growth doesn't always begin with having all the answers. Sometimes it begins with saying yes to the next step, even when the whole journey isn't clear.
As someone who is learning to trust God more, this challenged me to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
📖 What happened:
Santiago meets Melchizedek, who encourages him to pursue his Personal Legend. To begin his journey, Santiago makes a difficult decision, he sells his sheep and leaves behind the life he's always known.
💭 What I learnt:
Growth often requires letting go of what's familiar so we can embrace what God is leading us toward.
🤍 My reflection:
I'm learning that faith isn't about having every answer. It's about trusting God enough to take the next step.
