Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she wonโt suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back โ and at some point everyone looks back โ she will hear her heart saying, โWhat have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage; the certainty that you wasted your life.
Paulo CoelhoI love you like a river that creates the right conditions for trees and bushes and flowers to flourish along its banks. I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go.
Paulo CoelhoTough times test your valor, persistence and ability to make decisions. They force you to fight for your dreams.
