Paulo Coelho

We are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible. We grow up with this idea, and as the years accumulate, so too do the layers of prejudice, fear and guilt. There comes a time when our personal calling is so deeply buried in our soul as to be invisible. But know that it's still there.
Paulo Coelho

You can only learn when you teach.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don't forget that everything you deal with is only one thing and nothing else.
