Thanks @mineopoly! I definitely recommend it, the book has been amazing so far! I agree and in the book, the boy begins having dreams of reaching the Pyramids. His personal legend wasn't necessarily a choice, but more of an obligation for him to seek more in his life and venture out into the unknown.
I also find the same thing to be true - the post that I end up writing quickly but passionately and in a "flow state" so to speak, are the ones that typically get the best response.
I think this quote "When you want something, the whole universe conspires to help you." signifies the value of hard work, purpose and consistency. When you want something and you do whatever it takes to make it a reality, you will find opportunities flowing in from all over the place. Those opportunities are always there, but it takes a certain mindset to be able to sniff them out and be present enough to notice them.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts @mineopoly, you make some great points!
I really have to read the book now. Checking for it at this moment. You also are amazingly articulate. @khaleelkazi is honestly among the top 3 most influential people to me on Steemit. I just got the book. It is important to note this is the King of Salem that has great spiritual significance in the book of Genesis and Hebrews.
