It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes like interesting
-The Alchemist

I just finished rereading The Alchemist for the second time. It is the type of book that I could read over and over again (If you haven't read it, I recommend you do). It is a book about finding purpose in life and living out your personal legend. It is about having goals and dreams and learning to chase them and not let the fear of failure hold you back.

What would life be if we did not dream, have goals, ambitions, hopes, a purpose? Life is not life without these things. New inventions would not be created if people didn't follow their dreams. Lives would not be changed if people didn't follow their dreams. The world wouldn't be the way it is if people didn't follow their dreams.
I would not be living if I did not have a passion for the things I loved. I would not be living if I did not dream about everything I can and will do. I would not be living if I don't try to accomplish everything I want to do. Life is too short not to chase dreams and follow my purpose. Like it says, the possibility of having dreams come true is what makes life exciting.
