In maturity and through the pangs of losing
We must seek logic and rationality beyond measure
So as not to fall prey to the ponzi scheme, that is life
However…
One must also hold fast to the potential for a firm dose of luck to cross over at any point, an opportunity glazed in gold
The Alchemist, reminded me to never lose faith in the potential for magic
For that slam dunk
That home run
The bulls eye
As I see it, there is not a lack of opportunity
But rather, when the opportunity presents itself
You lack
I lack
We are all
Found wanting
Not wanting to be found
To focus on what you want whilst being aware of what can go wrong appears the ideal balance
The alchemist is a story of a boy who never gives up on his personal legend
Despite all the daily dirks, he remains propelled to live a life he is proud of
Aiming high and dreaming beyond the stars
Each individuals personal legend varies
However, I believe each has it
We tend to ignore it, making excuses
As fear of failure infects each repetitive thought
The alchemist, however, reminds us all to never, ever, give up on our own personal legend
And to always
Always
Play to win
