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
From the moment that you feel enthusiastic about everything, you know that you are following your heart.
Paulo Coelho
Image
He never falls into the trap of the word freedom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every second of the search is an encounter with God. When I have been truly searching for my treasure, every day has been luminous...I've discovered things along the way that I never would have seen had I not had the courage to try things that seemed impossible for a shepherd to achieve.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The Lord heareth the prayers of those who ask to put aside hatred. But he is deaf to those who would flee from love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The soil needs the seed and the seed needs the soil. The one only has meaning with the other. It is the same thing with human beings. When male knowledge joins with female transformation, then the great magical union is created, and its name is wisdom. Wisdom means both to know and to transform.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.
Paulo Coelho

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
He knows that there are occasional pauses in the struggle.

Don't try to be useful. Try to be yourself: that is enough & that makes all the difference.
Paulo Coelho
Image
However happy people say they are, nobody is satisfied: we always have to be with the prettiest woman, buy a bigger house, change cars, desire what we do not have.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sometimes, we are so attached to our way of life that we turn down wonderful opportunities simply because don't know what to do with it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A bird in a cage is safe but God didn't create birds for that.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A warrior balances solitude and dependence.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I'm going away, he said. And I want you to know that I'm coming back. I love you because.... Don't say anything, Fatima interrupted. One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Most experiences provoke a transformation in you. So, when you live something, live it fully because you never know when this is going to happen again and not only that, if it even happens again, it will not have the same impact.
Paulo Coelho
Image
None of us can know what tomorrow will hold, because each day has its good and its bad moments.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Attacking or fleeing are part of the struggle being paralysed by fear is not.
Paulo Coelho
Image
A Warrior of the Light cannot always choose his battlefield.
Paulo Coelho

The great problem with poisoning by Bitterness was that the passions - hatred, love, despair, enthusiasm, curiosity - also ceased to manifest themselves. After a while, the embittered person felt no desire at all. They lacked the will either to live or to die, that was the problem.
Paulo Coelho
