“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” The Alchemist

I love this quote from The Alchemist. I feel like this is my life right now. Weird things seem to be happening to me right now that are helping me live my “personal legend”.

Part of what I “want” in life is happiness and peace (personal peace, peace of mind). I recently had to have a very difficult conversation with someone that had been a friend. Without giving details, I believe this friend is going through some serious mental battles. My whole hearted attempt to talk was to reconcile the relationship and truly help this friend. While he said he wanted that, too, his words and actions did not prove that. Instead, I got to hear how everything was my fault (including his broken relationships with other people) and how terrible my wife and I are.

Things are not back to what they were before, but I feel complete peace after the conversation. Even that conversation (odd as it sounds) seemed to help me in my personal journey.

I have several other, crazier, things happening that I could not have ever expected to happen.

If I could give a piece of advice to anyone reading this…

You must first choose to LOVE people and FORGIVE before you can have true inner peace.

Love you all!
