CONSPIRACY by Brenden Ambrose

Everyone, when they are young,

Knows what their personal legend is.

But I am afraid.

I just prefer to dream about it.

The boy was surprised at his thoughts.

Today I understand something I didn’t see before:

Every blessing ignored is a curse.

Try to make your own decisions.

Because life wants you to achieve

Your personal legend

And when you want something,

All the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

 

FEARS by Leigha Bartko

Don’t give into your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.

The boy and his heart had become friends, and neither was capable now of betraying the other.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

Dreams are the language of god.

It is said all people who are happy have god within them.

Because true love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny.

Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.

Everything in life has its price.

 

LOVE by Justin Bisnauthing

this is what we call love

there is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve

the fear of failure

don’t give into your fears

the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself

it’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life so interesting

 

and when you want something

the whole universe conspires in helping you achieve it

 

so I love you

because the entire universe conspired to help me find you

there is no reason needed for loving

one is loved because one is loved

and where your heart is

there you will find your treasure

this is what we call love

 

KISS by Destiny Castillo

When two people encounter each other,

The past and the future become unimportant.

She is greater than anything else I have won

In my own country, I would be a rich man

It is the hand that evokes love

Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning

The wind began to blow again

It brought the touch of a kiss

A kiss that came from far away

Until it rested on his lips

 

LISTEN by Jake Dantas

“Your eyes show the strength of your soul.”

“So don’t give in to your fears.”

“Don’t let them see that your afraid.”

“Don’t be afraid of failures.”

“But no one fails to suffer the consequences of everything under the sun.”

“You will never be able to escape your heart.”

“But the heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.”

“Does a man’s heart always help him?”

“There is only one way to learn.”

“Listen to your heart. It knows all things…”

 

LIES by Alyson Fernandez

What’s the world’s greatest lie?

To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only real obligation.

But that’s the way it is.

People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being.

Sometimes it’s better to leave things as they are.

People fail to recognize the good things that happen their lives everyday that the sun rises.

Now it was too late to do anything else.

I’m afraid that it will all be a disappointment.

I was thinking about how much time I wasted in the same place;

So I prefer just to dream about it.

 

STRIVE by Andrew Galvin

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.

Every blessing ignored becomes a curse

Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.

If you start by promising what you don’t even have yet, you’ll lose your desire to work towards getting it.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

 

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART by Michael Garrone

The language of the world is your heart.

It knows all things.

Your heart holds your dreams

So listen to your heart.

Why do we have to listen to our hearts?

Whoever you are,

You will never escape your heart.

The language of the world is your heart.

 

DREAMING by Benjamin Goldstein

Never stop dreaming.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

We are afraid of losing what we have.

Every blessing becomes a curse.

My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer.

Sometimes there is just no way to hold back the river.

 

OBLIGATION by Emily Ortiz

To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation.

Every search begins with beginner’s luck.

And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.

Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say.

Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.

Naturally it’s afraid that, in pursuing your dream, you might lose everything you won.

Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you’re thinking about life and about the world.

You will never be able to escape from your heart.

So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.

That way, you’ll never have to fear an unanticipated blow.

 

REMEMBER by Jose Ortiz

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.

Don’t give up in to your fears.  If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

People are capable, at anytime in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

You must always know what it is that you want.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

In fact, the life is generous with who lives his personal legend.

VANITY by Christiana Phantharangsy

If God leads the sheep so well, he will also lead a man.

Because there is a force that wants you to realize your Personal Legend.

The gods should not have desires, because they don’t have Personal Legends.

Treasure is uncovered by the force of flowing water.

All they wanted was food and water.

If I can understand this language without words, I can learn to understand the world.

People talk a lot about omens, thought the shepherd. But they really don’t know what they’re saying.

Butterflies were a good omen. Like crickets, and like grasshoppers;like lizards and four-leaf clovers.

There was a moment of silence so profound that it seemed it the city was asleep.

I know it’s the vanity of vanities, as you said, my Lord.

 

WHERE? by Julia Quintino

I know that there is life here, but I don’t know where to look.

I’ve seen how the guides read the signs of the desert, and how the soul of the caravan speaks to the soul of the desert.

In order to find the treasure, you will have to follow the omens.

They become a part of everything…they become the Soul of the World.

 

I am following my Personal Legend. It is not something you would understand.

The closer one gets to realizing his Personal Legend, the more that Personal Legend becomes his true reason for being.

I’m afraid that if my dream is realized, I’ll have no reason to go on living.

 

Never stop dreaming.

Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.

At that point, the omens will tell you that your treasure is buried forever.

 

POSSIBILITIES by Sarah Reguigui

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. 
When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it. 

Because wherever your heart is that’s where you’ll find your treasure. 
I am afraid that if my dream is realized, I’ll have no reason to go on living. 
Don’t think about what you’ve left behind. 
Every blessing ignored becomes a curse. 
Everything in life is an Omen. 
But I am afraid that it would all be a disappointment, so I prefer to just dream about it.

And dreams are the language of God. 
It is written. 

 

STRIVE by Eileen Salvato

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”

“The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”

“Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.”

“Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.”

“When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.”

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too.”

“If you start by promising what you don’t even have yet, you’ll lose your desire to work towards getting it.”

 

LOVELY by Alexus Smith

What’s the world’s greatest lie?

it’s a dream in the language of the world,

another dreamer.

my heart is afraid it will have to suffer.

I’m alive.

We’ve done it!

Her treasure: it’s you.

Love speaks the language of the world,

Fatima.

What a lovely story.

 

ALIVE by Jesse Truminski

“Your heart is alive,

That’s what makes the heart suffer most”

“Well then, why should I listen to my heart?”

“Because you are trying to realize your destiny.”

“I don’t want to do so,

but I’m not so stupid.”

The old man pointed,

“There’s gold here.”

“Where is the treasure?”

“Your heart is still capable of showing you where the treasure is.”

“Does a man’s heart always help him?”

“The heart does what it can,

your heart is alive.

Keep listening to what it has to say.”
