Why do we have to listen to our hearts?β the boy asked, when they had made camp that day. βBecause, wherever your heart is, that is where youβll find your treasure.β βBut my heart is agitated,β the boy said. βIt has its dreams, it gets emotional, and itβs become passionate over a woman of the dessert. It asks things of me, and it keeps me from sleeping many nights when Iβm thinking about her.β βWell, thatβs good. Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say. β¨ Paulo Coelho (1998). The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition, HarperSanFrancisco
