Paulo CoelhoWhy do we have to listen to our hearts?โ the boy asked, when they had made camp that day. โBecause, wherever your heart is, that is where youโll find your treasure.โ โBut my heart is agitated,โ the boy said. โIt has its dreams, it gets emotional, and itโs become passionate over a woman of the dessert. It asks things of me, and it keeps me from sleeping many nights when Iโm thinking about her.โ โWell, thatโs good. Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say.
Paulo CoelhoThe warrior of light listens to what his opponent has to say. He only fights if absolutely necessary.
Paulo CoelhoAnd one has to understand that braveness is not the absence of fear but rather the strength to keep on going forward despite the fear.
