“Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart.” ― Paulo Coelho,

“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”

“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.
But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.”

“Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free.”

“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.”

“People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.”

The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.”

“I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.”

“People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.”
― Paulo Coelho
