Certainly. 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 CoelhoThe roller-coaster is my life; life is a fast, dizzying game; life is a parachute jump; itโs taking chances, falling over and getting up again; itโs mountaineering; itโs wanting to get to the very top of yourself and feeling angry and dissatisfied when you donโt manage it
Paulo CoelhoWhen faced with a loss, it is no use trying to recover what has gone. On the other hand, a great space has been opened up in your life - there it lies, empty, waiting to be filled with something new. At the moment of one's loss, contradictory as this might seem, one is being given a large slice of freedom.
