This year we are asking people to write about their “Personal Legend.”
Each year I think everyone evaluates their life and their journey a little bit around the holidays and into the first part of the new year. What have you done, where are going and how long do you have to get there?
2018 is the 20th anniversary of Literary Traveler and this year we are evaluating where we are on that path. How can we be better and true to all things we aspire and should be? It’s an important question.
So where you are you on your path? Are you happy? Are you satisfied with what you done? Are you looking back without regrets? What is your “Personal Legend?”
It’s based on the idea in the book The Alchemist. In the book, Paulo Coelho defines the concept of your Personal Legend…
Your Personal Legend is 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.
To realize one’s personal legend is one’s only real obligation. When you really want something all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.
What is your personal Legend? And what will you make the universe conspire for you?
Please let us know either via email or social media.
