Quote

There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.

The Warrior of the light knows that when somebody wants something, the whole Universe conspires in their favor.
Paulo Coelho
Image
But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.

Image
The extraordinary lies in the path of ordinary people.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Follow your dreams, transform your life, take the path that leads to God. Perform your miracles. Cure. Make prophecies. Listen to your guardian angel. Transform yourself. Be a warrior, and be happy as you wage the good fight. Take risks.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Choose the mountain you want to climb: don't pay attention to what other people say, such as that one's more beautiful or this one's easier. You'll be spending lots of energy and enthusiasm to reach your objective, so you're the only one responsible and you should be sure of what you're doing.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything we see… is just the visible part of reality.
Paulo Coelho
Image
In my world, everything is possible and everything is relative.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I am in the Aleph, the point at which everything is in the same place at the same time. I'm at a window, looking out at the world and its secret places, poetry lost in time and words left hanging in space...sentences that are perfectly understood, even when left unspoken. Feelings that simultaneously exalt and suffocate.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The act of discovering who we are will force us to accept that we can go further than we think.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The greatest gift God gave us is the power to make decisions.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A man's dignity isn't measured by the people he has around him when he's at the peak of his success, but by his ability not to forget those who helped him when his need was greatest.
Paulo Coelho
Image
As she had been walking from the ward to that room, she had felt such pure hatred that now she had no more rancor left in her heart. She had finally allowed her negative feelings to surface, feelings that had been repressed for years in her soul. She had actually FELT them, and they were no longer necessary, they could leave.
Paulo Coelho
Image
She looked at her own past, and, for the first time, she forgave herself: it hadn't been her fault, but the fault of that insecure little boy, who had given up after the first attempt.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are all a part of the divine spark. All have a purpose in creation and that purpose is called Love. That love, however, shouldn't be concentrated in just one person, it should be scattered throughout the world, waiting to be discovered. Wake up that love. What is gone cannot return. What is about to arrive needs to be recognized.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We still did not answer the questions that are important to us
Paulo Coelho
Image
Each human being was given two possibilities: action and contemplation. Both lead to the same place.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Loneliness is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.
Paulo Coelho
Image
It's always easy to blame others. You can spend your entire life blaming the world, but your successes or failures are entirely your own responsibility.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Love appears and says: You think you're heading towards a specific point, but the whole justification for the goal's existence lies in your love for it. Rest a little,but as soon as you can, get up and carry on. Because ever since your goal found out that you were traveling toward it, it has been running to meet you.
Paulo Coelho
