Quote

You're mistaken, Father. You were in paradise, but you didn't recognize it. It's the same with most people in this world they seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they are unworthy of happiness.

Time neither moves nor is stationary. Time changes.
Paulo Coelho

That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there.

Paulo Coelho
Image
I am my own best friend and my own worst enemy. Before coming here, I was thinking I don't deserve it, that i wouldn't be able to meet your expectations, and that you had probably chosen the wrong candidate. At the same time, my heart was telling me that i was being rewarded because i hadn't given up and had fought to the end

Love always triumphs over what we call death. That's why there's no need to grieve for our loved ones, because they continue to be loved and remain by our side.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Do not seek to be loved at any price, because Love has no price.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A faithless fan can make a team lose a game they have won.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over & over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That's how love got lost ... when we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear.
