Image
Never hate jealous people. They are jealous because they think you are better than them.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Too often, we decide to follow a path that is not really our own, one that others have set for us. We forget that...in both cases we will pass through both difficult and happy moments. But when we are living our dream, the difficulties we encounter make sense.
Paulo Coelho
Image
As he mused about these things, he realized that he had to choose between thinking of himself as the poor victim of a thief and as an adventurer in quest of his treasure.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule. Never lie to yourself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Let go of the idea that the path will lead you to your goal. The truth is that with each step we take, we arrive. Repeat that to yourself every morning: 'I've arrived.' That way you'll find it much easier to stay in touch with each second of your day.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being. Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Every human being has inside them something more important than him or herself - his or her Gift.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That was a matter suspended between heaven and earth, awaiting the hand of destiny.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The taste of things recovered is the sweetest honey we will ever know.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The only way to make the right decision is to find out which is the wrong decision, to examine that other path without fear, and only then decide.
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
Warriors of light frequently ask themselves what they are doing here. Very often they believe their lives have no meaning. That is why they are warriors of light. Because they make mistakes. Because they ask questions. Because they continue to look for a meaning. And, in the end, they will find it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The warrior knows that he is free to choose his desires, and he makes these decisions with courage, detachment, and - sometimes - with just a touch of madness.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life is like cooking: before choosing what you love, try everything... ♥
Paulo Coelho
Image
Getting married, having children, and staying together long after all love has died, saying that it's for the good of the children (who are, apparently, deaf to the constant rows).
Paulo Coelho
Image
Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive . and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Time that never ends, that never passes, that remains in the present, where all of life's secrets lie.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Well, to find, not the meaning of life because I believe in mysteries, I believe that there is a mystery that goes far beyond our understanding.
Paulo Coelho
