The Alchemist By Paulo Coelho

Intro: Choices

Everyone is born with a passion. Something that you are destined to achieve, even if you do not know exactly what that is. Often it calls out to you, but you are not ready to listen. You reject omens and focus on what everyone tells you is right for you. But you will never be able to escape it because of ‘maktub’ - it is written. Instead, you are given a choice: take a chance and be at peace with yourselves, or regret never exploring your passion. And the opportunities that follow; opportunities that give you countless chances to rediscover and ignite your passions. Eventually, exhausted of chances, that opportunity finally leaves forever, leaving you with the knowledge that it will never return. That is the day that you will reach out to grab on to it, as it fades away together.
