Mary J. Blige has always been one of my many inspirations in life... I have come to follow her struggles and success.. And I have come to love most of her songs.. Music is a big part of my daily life and I listen to it depending on my mood and feelings as it varies from time to time. Which brought me back to my early beginnings with blogging in my myspace account... Let me re- post it here again:

Ive been in a "reading mood" these past few days and the first book that I came across was "The Alchemist" by Pablo Coehlo> Ive heard about this a long time ago but never did get the chance to read it,..until now...:) What happened next opened up myself to a place familiar, a place where I once left, thinking that I could never be in there again..... and that was the long road that ive always loved to travel..... its the road to life. So now that I'm back on track,i am once again face with the the long road towards new discoveries in life. As I once said about myself,.... my life is a continous learning experience,its not how many times i fall, but how many times i get up everytime i fall..........enlightenedLet me share a few beautiful lines and quotes that I like from that book:
It was said that everyone of us has his or her own PERSONAL LEGEND. It is something that we've always wanted to accomplish.Everyone, when they are young know what their Personal Legend is. At that point in our lives, everything is clear and everything is possible.We are not afraid to dream and to yearn for everything we would like to see happen to us in our lives.But as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince us that it wil be impossible for us to realize our Personal Legend.
People are fascinatedwith pictures and words and wind up forgetting the language of the world. We fail to recognize the good things that happen in our lives everyday that the sun rises. We see the world in terms of what we would like to see happen, not what actually does...
What is "The language of the world"???? ----- It is a language that everyone understands. A language of enthusiasm,of things accomplished with love and purpose and as a part of a search for something believed in and desired------
When we want something, all the universe conspires in helping us to achieve it. We have to take advantage when luck is on our side, because that is the principle of favorability... or to simply put it-- Beginner's Luck :)
When we want something with all our heart, that's when we are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.
For me and for others who believe in "intuition", it is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life,where the history of all people are connected and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there.........
