The world is being created and destroyed in this very moment. Whoever you met will reappear, whoever you lost will return. Don’t betray the grace that was bestowed on you. Understand what is going on inside you and you will understand what is going on inside everyone else. Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace. I came with a sword.
Paulo Coelho

If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it
Paulo Coelho
Image
Choose the mountain you want to climb: don't pay attention to what other people say, such as that one's more beautiful or this one's easier. You'll be spending lots of energy and enthusiasm to reach your objective, so you're the only one responsible and you should be sure of what you're doing.
Paulo Coelho
