7 Life Lessons From The Book - The Alchemist

-
The Alchemist is a novel by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian author who first published it in 1988. It was originally written in Portuguese and became an international bestseller after being widely translated. Here are 7 lifehacks from the book;

1. Fear is a greater impediment than the impediment itself

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is more painful than the actual suffering. And that no heart has ever suffered in the quest for its desires.

Any significant risk entails a huge return.

2. What is "true" will always stand the test of time

If all you found was a flash of light, like a supernova exploding, you'd find nothing when you returned.

When it comes to making the proper option, the one that stands the test of time and examination is the one to make.

3. Add variety to your routine

It is because individuals forget to acknowledge the nice things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises that each day is the same as the last.

If you look for it, there's always a silver lining.

4. Be present in the moment

There's no purpose in concentrating on the past and allowing it to define you, nor is there any point in being lost and worried about the future.

However, you are in the field of potential right now, and how you connect with it will determine how your life unfolds.

5. Your accomplishments have a cascading effect

The fabric of reality is woven with growth, change, and evolution.

Becoming a better version of yourself has a cascading impact that improves everyone and everything around you: your lifestyle, family, friends, and community.

6. Continue to get back up

However, the secret to life is to fall seven times and get back up eight times.

Because the eighth time could be the charm for you.

After getting hundreds of rejections, some of history's greatest works were published.

7. Concentrate on your own path

It's quite simple to be swayed by others.

Others feel enraged if someone isn't what they want them to be.

Everyone appears to have a firm grasp on how other people should live their lives, but none on how they should live their own.

Fat women are still beautiful: but beware of obesity

Obesity is a disease that has been a worrying issue in the world today, more and more ladies particularly in the Western world today are conscious of the stigma that is attached to being overweight. Any perceived or actual increase in size is often seen as an anathema which is as a source of social disapproval. While some are naturally slim, others are plump as encoded in their genes. Social acceptance or disapproval of body structure emanates from the culture of the society and passed on from generation to generation. African men (not all) are particularly wary of slim women, whom they label as unfed, sick, bony and are symbolically compared to the letter 1, stick or a tiny broom. In sexual terms they tag them as not 'handy', shortchanged and deprived of the vital body structures to get them aroused. They are favourably inclined to fat women, they believe these women are the endowed. To be a plump woman means beauty to the African man. To him, she is handy, and fleshy to per...

Child marriage is real and its consequences stare us in the face. its effects on the social well-being of the child, psychological and health cannot be over-emphasized. Where illiteracy and poverty abound, the effects become all consuming. My Sociological analysis is critical of religious dogma attached to some certain belief system and I promise to tackle the phenomenon without bias. I understand the emotional appeal which religion carries, I also understand the functions and its roles in bringing about stability and cohesion, psychological and moral function as well as its role in reconstructing social identity. I'm aware however, that religion has also been the bane of progress in many societies across the world stimulating conflict and resulting in loss of lives and properties. Adherents of religious belief attribute their actions as emanating from a divine authority and their behaviours are the manifestation of their moral duty to the divine. Sociologically speaking however...

As women age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their sexual desire. Men who are in relationships with women, especially those who are approaching or have reached menopause, should understand these changes to keep the spark alive in their relationships. Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs, and her menstrual cycle stops. Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, the symptoms of menopause can begin years before the actual menopause, during a phase called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a transitional period that can last anywhere between two to ten years. During this period, women may experience a wide range of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect a woman's sexual desire and may result in a decreased libido. The decrease in estrogen levels durin...
