Reflect on the four obstacles Paulo Coelho (the author) talks about in the introduction, then apply them to your own pursuit of your “personal legend” and compare yourself to Santiago and apply his learnings to your set of circumstances to formulate a strategy of who and what you may need in your life to achieve your treasure.
By looking at the Gospel of Matthew 4: 18-22 and the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2461, how do they relate to the novel and what might this mean for you?
