Stay true to yourself from "summary" of Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
In the desert, Santiago met a crystal merchant who had always wanted to make a pilgrimage to Mecca but had never done so. The merchant had built his business in Tangier, and he was afraid that if he left, his shop would be robbed. Santiago encouraged the merchant to pursue his dream of going to Mecca, but the merchant refused, stating that it was too late for him to fulfill his dream. Santiago learned from the crystal merchant that it was important to stay true to oneself and pursue one's dreams. The merchant had let fear and comfort hold him back from following his heart's desire, and he lived a life of regret as a result. Santiago realized that he must not make the same mistake and continue on his journey to find his Personal Legend. Through his journey, Santiago faced many challenges and temptations that threatened to pull him away from his quest. He encountered thieves, worked at a crystal shop, fell in love, and searched for hidden treasure. Despite the distractions and obstacles, Santiago remained focused on his goal and stayed true to himself. Santiago's unwavering determination and belief in his Personal Legend eventually led him to the treasure he sought. Along the way, he learned that staying true to oneself means following one's heart, listening to one's intuition, and not letting fear or doubt cloud one's judgment. By trusting in himself and his dreams, Santiago was able to achieve his goal and fulfill his destiny.- It is essential to remain authentic, true to one's values, and committed to following one's heart. By staying true to oneself, one can overcome challenges, resist temptation, and ultimately find fulfillment and happiness in life.
