If his decision is correct, he will win the battle, even if it lasts longer than expected. If his decision is wrong, he will be defeated and he will have to start all over again-only this time with more wisdom. But once he has started, a warrior of the light perseveres until the end.
Paulo CoelhoThe great wisdom of life is that we can be masters of the things that try to enslave us.
Paulo CoelhoDoes a leaf, when it falls from the tree in winter, feel defeated by the cold? The tree says to the leaf: "Thatโs the cycle of life. You may think youโre going to die, but you live on in me. Itโs thanks to you that Iโm alive, because I can breathe. Itโs also thanks to you that I have felt loved, because I was able to give shade to the weary traveller. Your sap is in my sap; we are one thing.
