Planning to Follow your dreams?

For the last few days, I was reading 'The Alchemist'. Was an interesting story with a thrilling finish. But does that really work- I mean should i pack up and move to a place i get in my dreams? and for the 'universal language of soul' part- I'll agree to it. But the language is not unique. It does not have a specific meaning - no hard and fast rule. It is upto the person and different people interpret it in different ways. I, sometimes, did feel like some external force is trying to guide me and i believe it is true for others too only if they take the time and interpret it in the right way.

The story where -a king after losing battle and running for his life, gets inspired and returns back after he observes an ant repeatedly failing to climb a rock but not giving up till it succeeds, is an illustration of how to find inspiration from nature. We lack good role models in this age- Role models whom we can get inspired from and whom we can afford to follow blindly. In such cases, nature is a very good preacher.
