The Alchemist Quote Log 2

“When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it” (62).
            One of the many pieces of sagacious advice that the king gives to Santiago is that when one wants something, the universe will help one achieve their goal. If what the king says is true then this is definitely positive news. We all have vocational callings and want to achieve our goals so knowing that the universe will help us is encouraging. What I want to achieve in life is to graduate college with a good education and be able to have a job involved with sports. The king also tells Santiago to “never stop dreaming” (62). I should never stop dreaming either then. My dream may be to open up my own physical therapy clinic and according to the text I should never stop dreaming with the comfort that the universe will help me.
