Amy posted this last fall, I'm reposting it today. Follow your heart, don't be scared of suffering, it all leads you to become closer with God and becoming the person God made you to be :)
The Alchemist: People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren't, or of treasures that might have been found, but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly.
Santiago: My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.
The Alchemist: Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.
Santiago: When I have been truly searching for my treasure, I’ve discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible for a shepherd to achieve.
