What is the young man's Personal Legend?

Listen to Paolo Coelho talk with Oprah Winfrey about what Personal Legend means.  All humans are meant to find their path to deep fulfillment and purpose.  So much gets in the way for all of us, and young men need help sorting through their life and taking steps toward their Personal Legend.

We are all, a little or a lot, depending on how honest we are being with ourselves, living with a focus on negativity in this society.

Not that you don’t already see it everywhere, but all you have to do is turn on the TV, look at social media, or have a discussion with a good friend, to realize that we have lost something in this vacuum of negativity.

Whereas it seems like in a time long ago, where we were much more focused on problem-solving, today it feels a lot like we are problem creating. Talking about and working through emotions and conflict, ha, that seems like a thing of yesteryear.

But in my own pursut in trying to rise above the fray, I came across an old book, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, that reminded me of the great quest we are all on.

I don’t think any of us believe that our quest is to get sucked into the vortex of negativity and division. These downers don‘t just happen externally but it’s going on internally at the same time. It is that internal process that we start to discuss in legend counseling. How we are lost, and often feel damned, in our own story.

We move along with what got us here and blaze new trails with insight and motivation to where we want to be.
