Following “Personal Legend” very nicely narrated by  Palo Coelho  in “ The Alchemist”, Hero Santiago (Shepherd) starts a journey to the Egypt Pyramids to find his treasure (He used to get recurring dream that his treasure is lying at the Pyramids of Egypt) along the way Santiago faces many challenges, but he never gives up on his epic journey. He learns to trust his intuition and to listen to the signs that the universe is sending him.

The Alchemist is a story about the importance of following our dreams and pursuing our personal legend. It is about the power of the universe to help us achieve our goals, and it is about the importance of living in the present moment and appreciating the simple things in life. Finally hero finds his treasure but not a physical chest filled with golden bars and other precious diamonds it is more wealthy love and life lessons taught for a harmonious life..

("The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." - Mark Twain)

Once you find the “Calling”, you need to smartly align your every activity to start the meaningful journey of a joyful life .

Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary- Steve Jobs
