God only rarely reveals the future. When he does so, it is for one reason: it's a future that was written so as to be altered.
Paulo CoelhoIf only everyone could know and live with their inner craziness. Would the world be a worse place for it? No, people would be fairer and happier.
Paulo CoelhoHell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: โI made some mistakes, but I wasnโt a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.
Paulo Coelhowe are human beings, we are born full of guilt; we feel terrified when happiness becomes a real possibility.
Paulo CoelhoCertainly. But take this into consideration: of every ten problems we have, nine are created by our own selves - through guilt, self-punishment, self-pity. However, from time to time a great obstacle appears in our path, which was put there by God, and which is there for a reason. The reason is: to give us the opportunity to change everything, to move forwards.
