Answer:

A Personal Legend, as described in The Alchemist, is one's life's destiny. It's about figuring out what you want to do with your life and going after it. When Santiago encounters Melchizedek, the old King of Salem, he tells him about Personal Legends. According to him, a Personal Legend is "something you've always wanted to do."
