‘It’s what you have always wanted to accomplish. Everyone, when they are young, knows what there personal legend is.
At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal lLegend.’

It’s your mission on this earth.’
