A family stitched together with love seldom unravels. Letty Cottin Pogrebin

Annie Pratt bought her Singer in the 1920s. When the Germans bombed her hometown of Plymouth, England, during World War II, rather than run for shelter, Annie ran home to save her beloved sewing machine. She escaped with her machine in tow and sustained only a few burns on her hands.

The sewing machine sews what the scissors have cut asunder, plus whatever else comes in its path.

A tranquil woman can go on sewing longer than an angry man can go on fuming. George Bernard Shaw

Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern; it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that - one stitch at a time taken patiently and the pattern will come out all right like the embroidery.- Oliver Wendell Holmes

“You are what you believe yourself to be.” ― Paulo Coelho

“Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.”

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.”

“Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them.”

“Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.”

“Your eyes show the strength of your soul.”
― Paulo Coehlo

“You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.”

 

There’s a thin line between making dumb decisions and taking calculated risks, which most people, unfortunately, don’t understand.

Cheating on your partner might not be the risk worth taking while giving up your corporate job to fulfill your dreams may be.

If you always try to play it safe, you don’t allow miracles to happen.

Whenever I need to decide whether to play it safe or take a risk, I remind myself of a quote by Jeff Bezos:

“I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not trying.”

Next time you’re worrying whether to make a bold step or not, ask yourself if you’d regret not making it. What if you never find out whether it could work?

Paulo Coelho
