Quote

It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.

The energy of hatred won't get you anywhere but the energy of forgiveness, which reveals itself through love, will transform your life in a positive way.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Empty your mind, stop thinking about anything, simply be.
Paulo Coelho
Image
That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The gods throw the dice and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When you find your way you cannot be scared. You need to be brave enough to take wrong steps. The deceptions, failures, lack of enthusiasm, are tools that God places in our way to reveal the path.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Many people in this world are merely playing a role, unaware that there is an Invisible Hand guiding them.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

He had not a cent in his pocket, but he had faith. He had decided, the night before, that he would be as much an adventurer as the ones he had admired in books.
Paulo Coelho
Image
If his decision is correct, he will win the battle, even if it lasts longer than expected. If his decision is wrong, he will be defeated and he will have to start all over again-only this time with more wisdom. But once he has started, a warrior of the light perseveres until the end.
Paulo Coelho

We must study things we will never use, but which someone told us were important to know.
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
Love simply is. That is the testament of Athena or Sherine or Hagia Sofia - love is. No definitions. Love and don't ask too many questions. Just love.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Those who never take risks can only see other people's failures.
Paulo Coelho
Image
no project is completed until its objective has been achieved.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Man struggles to survive, not to succumb
Paulo Coelho
Image
We must marry, have children, reproduce the species.
Paulo Coelho
Image
When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.
Paulo Coelho
Image
We are all pilgrims in search of the unknown.
Paulo Coelho
Image
The act of discovering who we are will force us to accept that we can go further than we think.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Sex was always surrounded by taboos, and I don't see it necessarily as a manifestation of evil. I think that sexuality is first and foremost the way that God chooses for us to be here on earth, to enjoy this energy of love in the physical plane.
