The world is being created and destroyed in this very moment. Whoever you met will reappear, whoever you lost will return. Donโt 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. Donโt imagine that I came to bring peace. I came with a sword.
Paulo CoelhoYes, my mind was wandering. I wished I were there with someone who could bring peace to my heart someone with whom I could spend a little time without being afraid that i would lose him the next day. With that reassurance, the time would pass more slowly. We could be silent for a while because we'd know we had the rest of our lives together for conversation. I wouldn't have to worry about serious matters, about difficult decisions and hard words.
Paulo CoelhoWhen we venture in that unfamiliar sea, we trust blindly in those who guide us, believing that they know more than we do.
Paulo CoelhoForget everything you've ever learned about the stars and they'll once more be transformed into angels, or into children, or into whatever you want to believe at that moment. It won't make you more stupid - after all, it's only a game - but it could enrich your life.
Paulo CoelhoThere are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.
Paulo CoelhoWell, to find, not the meaning of life because I believe in mysteries, I believe that there is a mystery that goes far beyond our understanding.
Paulo CoelhoBe blessed. And just as you are transforming your own life, may you transform the lives of those around you. When they ask, do not forget to give. When they knock at your door, be sure to open it. When they lose something and come to you, do whatever you can to help them find what they have lost. First, though, ask; knock at the door and find what is missing in your life. A hunter always knows what to expect - eat or be eaten.
