Beauty is present in all creation, but the danger lies in the fact that we allow ourselves to be influenced by what people think. We deny our own beauty because others can't or won't recognize it. We try to imitate what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as 'pretty' & little by little, our soul fades. We forget the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.
Paulo CoelhoLaugh at your worries and insecurities. View your anxieties with humor. It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to it.
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.
Paulo CoelhoIโve learned that waiting is the most difficult bit, and I want to get used to the feeling, knowing that youโre with me, even when youโre not by my side.
