| “For several reasons. But let’s say that the most important is that | ||
| you have succeeded in discovering your Personal Legend.” | ||
| The boy didn’t know what a person’s “Personal Legend” was. | ||
| “It’s what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, | ||
| when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. | ||
| “At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is | ||
| possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything | ||
| they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time | ||
| passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be | ||
| impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend.” | ||
| None of what the old man was saying made much sense to the | ||
| boy. But he wanted to know what the “mysterious force” was; the | ||
| merchant’s daughter would be impressed when he told her about | ||
| that! | ||
| “It’s a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you | ||
| how to realize your Personal Legend. It prepares your spirit and | ||
| your will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever | ||
| you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want | ||
| something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the | ||
| universe. It’s your mission on earth.” | ||
| “Even when all you want to do is travel? Or marry the daughter | ||
| of a textile merchant?” | ||
| “Yes, or even search for treasure. The Soul of the World is | ||
| nourished by people’s happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, | ||
| and jealousy. To realize one’s Personal Legend is a person’s only | ||
| real obligation. All things are one. | ||
| “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in | ||
| helping you to achieve it.” | ||
| They were both silent for a time, observing the plaza and the | ||
| townspeople. It was the old man who spoke first. | ||
| “Why do you tend a flock of sheep?” | ||
| “Because I like to travel.” | ||
| The old man pointed to a baker standing in his shop window at | ||
| one corner of the plaza. “When he was a child, that man wanted to | ||
| travel, too. But he decided first to buy his bakery and put some | ||
| money aside. When he’s an old man, he’s going to spend a month in | ||
| Africa. He never realized that people are capable, at any time in | ||
| their lives, of doing what they dream of.” | ||
| “He should have decided to become a shepherd,” the boy said. | ||
| “Well, he thought about that,” the old man said. “But bakers are | ||
| more important people than shepherds. Bakers have homes, while | ||
| shepherds sleep out in the open. Parents would rather see their | ||
| children marry bakers than shepherds.” | ||
| The boy felt a pang in his heart, thinking about the merchant’s | ||
| daughter. There was surely a baker in her town. | ||
| The old man continued, “In the long run, what people think | ||
| about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them | ||
| than their own Personal Legends.” | ||
| The old man leafed through the book, and fell to reading a page | ||
| he came to. The boy waited, and then interrupted the old man just | ||
| as he himself had been interrupted. “Why are you telling me all | ||
| this?” | ||
