The present moment, though, is outside of time, itโs Eternity. In India they use the word โkarmaโ for lack of any better term. But itโs a concept thatโs rarely given a proper explanation. It isnโt what you did in the past that will affect the present. Itโs what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Paulo CoelhoWriting means sharing. It's part of the human condition to want to share things - thoughts, ideas, opinions.
Paulo CoelhoBut there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.
Paulo CoelhoLike the fighter, the Warrior is aware of his own immense strength; he never fights with anyone who does not deserve the honor of combat.
Paulo CoelhoThe mere possibility of getting what we want fills the soul of the ordinary person with guilt. We look around at all those who have failed to get what they want and feel that we do not deserve to get what we want either. We forget about all the obstacles we overcame, all the suffering we endured, all the things we had to give up in order to get this far.
