Quote

If we resist the temptation to allow other people to define who we are, then we will gradually be able to let the sun inside our own soul shine forth.

More quotes by 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
Forgive your enemy, but do not mistake him for a friend.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Meet your obligations. But obligations never prevented anyone from following their dreams. Remember that you are a manifestation of the absolute, and do only those things in your life that are worth the effort. Only those who do that will understand the great transformations that are yet to be seen.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise, said the seer. If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body. Many times in our lives we see our dreams shattered and our desires frustrated, but we have to continue dreaming. If we don't, our soul dies, and agape cannot reach it.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When faced with a loss, it is no use trying to recover what has gone. On the other hand, a great space has been opened up in your life - there it lies, empty, waiting to be filled with something new. At the moment of one's loss, contradictory as this might seem, one is being given a large slice of freedom.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Why is patience so important? Because it makes us pay attention.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Whatever I did, I did with love and I did with honesty.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I must have no fear of failure. It was my fear of failure that first kept me from attempting the Master Work.
Paulo Coelho
Image
You are not defeated when you lose. You are defeated when you quit.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Hide your craziness behind a beautiful smile. That's all you need.

Love is what dreams are made of!
