Try to be good, you'll be judged. Try to be yourself, you'll be criticized. Therefore, choose the second option. Evil uses the nice good people as puppets. It appears dressed as a poor guy, telling them that he needs help...When these people realize they have been used, it is already too late.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

It was all a matter of control. And Choice. Nothing more, nothing less
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
Image
She didn't need to understand the meaning of life it was enough to find someone who did, and then fall asleep in his arms and sleep as a child sleeps, knowing that someone stronger than you is protecting you from all evil and all danger
Paulo Coelho
Image
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

Everyone has their own way of learning.
Paulo Coelho
