Paulo CoelhoEvery blessing ignored becomes a curse. I don't want anything else in life. But you are forcing me to look at wealth and at horizons I have never known.

Paulo CoelhoPeople are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they donโt deserve them, or that theyโll be unable to achieve them.

Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly.
