I don't know what to do. I only know that it's taken me years to understand that life was pushing me in a direction I didn't want to go in.

More quotes by Paulo Coelho
Human beings can withstand a week without water, two weeks without food, many years of homelessness, but not loneliness. It is the worst of all tortures, the worst of all sufferings.
Paulo Coelho
Each person is different and each one will reach God by his or her own path.
Paulo Coelho
I don't care whether it was once sacred or not, I HATE WHAT I DO. It's destroying my soul, making me lose touch with myself, teaching me that pain is a reward, that money buys everything and justifies everything.
Paulo Coelho
Change. But start slowly, because direction is more important than speed
Paulo Coelho
It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others ad fight for your rights.
Paulo Coelho
That's how love got lost ... when we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear.
Paulo Coelho
A lot of people think something is right, and so that thing becomes right.
Paulo Coelho
But love is much like a dam if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current.
Paulo Coelho
And he never judges someone else's suffering.
Paulo Coelho
Love is beyond time or rather love is both time and space but all focused on one single constantly evolving point-the Aleph.
Paulo Coelho
The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.
Paulo Coelho
Emotions were like wild horses and it required wisdom to be able to control them
Paulo Coelho
of all the weapons of destruction that man could invent, the most terrible-and the most powerful-was the word. Daggers and spears left traces of blood arrows could be seen at a distance. Poisons were detected in the end and avoided. But the word managed to destroy without leaving clues.
Paulo Coelho
I'm not worried about tomorrow, because God is there already, waiting for me.
Paulo Coelho
If you want to achieve your objectives, you have to be prepared for a daily dose of pain or discomfort. At first, it's unpleasant and demotivating, but in time you come to realise that it's part of the process of feeling good, and the moment arrives when, if you don't feel pain, you have a sense that the exercises aren't having the desired effect.
Paulo Coelho
What's the world's greatest lie?... It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.
Paulo Coelho
Try to live with the same intensity as a child. He doesn't ask for explanations he dives into each day as if it were a new adventure and, at night, sleeps tired and happy.
Paulo Coelho
Love is, after all, a curse of suffering.
Paulo Coelho
It is necessary to run risks, to follow certain paths and to abandon others. No one can make a choice without feeling fear.
Paulo Coelho
On some nights, he has nowhere to sleep, on others he suffers from insomnia. That's just how it is, thinks the warrior. I was the one who chose to walk this path.
Paulo Coelho
