The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho

When Santiago, a young shepherd boy from the Spanish countryside, has a dream that reveals the location of a hidden treasure buried at the Egyptian Pyramids his simple life is suddenly torn in two. Part of him wants to take the chance to go searching for it and the other part of him wants to continue his easy life as a shepherd.

At the end of a journey full of upheaval, adventure, misfortune and enlightenment, his path ends up being right back where his journey began, under the very tree where he had the prophetic dream years before. Sometimes our pot of gold is right before our very eyes, it’s the journey we need to take that opens up our eyes in order to see it.
