" Every search begins with beginners luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested." Besides pursuing a dream and listening to our heart, what you still need to know is this: Before a dream is reached, the soul of the world tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we have learned as we have moved towards that dream. That's the point at which most people give up. Its the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one "dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon".
