Paulo Coelho
Image
The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip.
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

Charisma- the divine force that manifests itself in men and women. The supernatural power we don't need to show to anyone because everyone can see it, even usually insensitive people. But it only happens when we're naked, when we die to the world and are reborn to ourselves.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Life becomes interesting for the possibility to fulfill a dream.
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
Our task is not to leave a record of what happened on this date for those who will inherit the Earth history will take care of that.
Paulo Coelho
Image
She wants to drink that man too, and then she can forget forever the cheap wine that you gulp down and that makes you feel drunk, but always leaves you with a headache and an empty space in your soul.
Paulo Coelho
Image
I was content in my universe and didn't want to change it at all, even though I was being propelled in that direction.
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
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
making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
Paulo Coelho
