THE CALL TO ADVENTURE

THE CALL TO ADVENTURE

"He had had the same dream that night as a weak ago, and once again he had awakened before it ended"

(Coelho, 1988, p.6).

REFUSAL OF THE CALL

REFUSAL OF THE CALL

"So the boy was dissapointed; he decided that he would never again believe in dreams"

(Coelho, 1988, p.17).

CROSSING

THE THRESHOLD

CROSSING THE THRESHOLD

"Melchizedek watched a small ship that was plowing its way out the port. He would never again see the boy, just as he had never seen Abraham again after having charged him his one-tenth fee. That was his work.

The gods should not have desires, because they don't have Personal Legends. But the king of Salem hoped desperately that the boy would be succesful."

(Coelho, 1988, p.35)

THE APPROACH

THE APPROACH

"He still had some doubts about the decision he had made. But he was able to understand one thing: making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision."

(Coelho, 1988, p.70)

ORDEAL, DEATH, & REBIRTH

ORDEAL, DEATH, AND REBIRTH

"'Before this, I always looked to the desert with longing', said Fatima. 'Now it will be with hope. My father went away one day, but he returned to my mother, and he has always come back since then.'"

(Coelho, 1988, p.124)

REWARD

THE REWARD

"When he reached the top of the dune, his heart leapt. There, illuminated by the light of the moon and the brightness of the desert, stood the solemn and majestic Pyramids of Egypt.

The boy fell to his knees and wept. He thanked God for making him believe in his Personal Legend, and for leading him to meet a king, a merchant, an Englsihman, and an alchemist. And above all for his having met a woman of the desert who had told him that love would never keep a man from his Personal Legend."

(Coelho, 1988, p.161)
