The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams? [...] Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer.
Paulo Coelho
Image
For a writer you have to be interested in different cultures, different backgrounds. You are not there to write only about your village. You're there to show a bit of your village, but also to understand other villages.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
It's always easy to blame others. You can spend your entire life blaming the world, but your successes or failures are entirely your own responsibility.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The wise men understood that this natural world is only an image and a copy of paradise. The existence of this world is simply a guarantee that there exists a world that is perfect. God created the world so that, through its visible objects, men could understand his spiritual teachings and the marvels of his wisdom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I understand that everything is connected, that all roads meet, and that all rivers flow into the same sea.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I've noticed that loneliness gets stronger when we try to face it down, but gets weaker when we simply ignore it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are not worshipping anyone or anything, we are simply communing with creation.
Paulo Coelho
Image
What people regard as vanity—leaving great works, having children, acting in such a way as to prevent one's name from being forgotten—I regard as the highest expression of human dignity.
Paulo Coelho
Image
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
Image
I kissed him hard. The few people in the bar must have been thinking that all they were seeing was just a kiss. They didn't know that this kiss stood for my whole life - and his life, as well. The life of anyone who has waited, dreamed, and searched for their true path. The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Courage is fear that prays.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.
Paulo Coelho
Image
No matter how you are feeling, get up every morning and prepare to let your light shine forth.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The trouble with words is that they give us the illusory sense that we are making ourselves understood as well as understanding what others are saying. However, when we turn around and come face-to-face with our destiny, we discover that words are not enough.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say
Paulo Coelho
Image
If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule. Never lie to yourself.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Walk firmly and with joy, without being afraid of stumbling. All your movements are being watched by your allies that will help you when necessary.
Paulo Coelho
Image
They spent days, nights, weeks, and years talking, never accepting the fact that, good or bad, an idea only exists when someone tries to put it into practice.
Paulo Coelho
