But human beings are like that, she thought. We've replaced nearly all our emotions with fear.
Paulo CoelhoThere is only one way to learn. It's through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.
Paulo CoelhoWhen I had my sheep, I was happy, and I made those around me happy. People saw me coming and welcomed me, he thought. But now I'm sad and alone. I'm going to become bitter and distrustful of people because one person betrayed me. I'm going to hate those who have found their treasure because I never found mine. And I'm going to hold on to what little I have, because I'm too insignificant to conquer the world.
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.
