Quote

You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent.

Image
Emotions are wild horses. It is not explanations that carry us forward, but our will to go on.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot reach it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I refuse to walk faintly through life only to arrive safely at death!
Paulo Coelho
Image
Anything that makes us forget who we are and what we want that way we can work in order to produce, reproduce, and earn money.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everyone has their own way of learning.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I learned long ago that in order to heal my wounds, I must have the courage to face up with them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The only way to make the right decision is to find out which is the wrong decision, to examine that other path without fear, and only then decide.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If we resist the temptation to allow other people to define who we are, then we will gradually be able to let the sun inside our own soul shine forth.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Just as your hand has the power to hide the sun, mediocrity has the power to hide your inner light. Do not blame others for your own incompetence.
Paulo Coelho
Image
As a writer I have to find platforms that can use this writing process. The internet is one of them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Too often, we decide to follow a path that is not really our own, one that others have set for us. We forget that...in both cases we will pass through both difficult and happy moments. But when we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Defeat is for the valiant. Only they will know the honor of losing and the joy of winning.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Omens are a language, it's the alphabet we develop to speak to the world's soul, or the universe's, or God's, whatever name you want to give it. Like an alphabet, it is individual, you only learn it by making mistakes, and that keeps you from globalizing the spiritual quest.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You must find your treasure in order to make sense of everything you discovered on the path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
On your journey to your dream, be ready to face oasis and deserts. In both cases, don't stop
Paulo Coelho
Image
I learned that the search for God is a Dark Night, that Faith is a Dark Night. And that’s hardly a surprise really, because for us each day is a dark night. None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, and yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes, you get no second chance and that its best to accept the gifts the world offers you.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you have a work instead of a job, every day is holiday
Paulo Coelho
Image
He too knows how to lose.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love is an act of faith in another person, not an act of surrender.
Paulo Coelho
