What is your destiny?

You wouldn't believe how much I love Alberto right now for recommending this book to me.
It's about a shepherd boy's magical journey to find the treasure of the world. A boy who loves traveling. A boy who pursue his dreams regardless of what is perceived and expected of him.
In essence, it's about discovering our own destiny and sticking to it. And at the same time, it's about questions, faith, happiness and every other thing in life.
I've finished part one of the book. And, I don't want to be the sheep in the story, but at the same time I will always go back to the sheep when I'm on my way, as everything is one.
The book is so thought provoking that even a simple line like "So, what is Salem like?", "It's like it always has been." embodies a deeper meaning. I'm in a different place when I read the book. Never once have a book spoken to me like this, I'm NOT exaggerating.
And yes, I know exactly why you recommended this book to me Alberto. So, muchas gracias.
