21. Summary

22. The Four
Obstacles to
Pursuing Your
Personal Legend

23. 1. We’re told
that everything
is impossible.
There’s no limit to the
possibilities. As adults, we
rationalize. We doubt. We
settle. We think those
dreams are perhaps a little
far-fetched, and society
agrees. So we ignore our
Personal Legend, burying it
and shushing it any time it
tries to remind of us what we
truly want.

24. 2. Love “We know what we want to
do, but are afraid of hurting
those around us by
abandoning everything in
order to pursue our dream.
We do not realize that love
is just a further impetus,
not something that will
prevent us going forward.”

25. 3. Fear of defeat
We need to take risks.
We can’t be afraid of
failure. when you’re on a
journey to fulfill your
Personal Legend, the
whole universe conspires
to help you achieve it.

26. This is the most difficult obstacle,
because when we are finally so
close to realizing our dream. And
if you start to believe that you are
worthy of your own dream, then
“you become an instrument of
God, you help the Soul of the
World, and you understand why
you are here.”
4. The fear of realizing the dream for
which we fought all our lives
