Sometimes, Decided

Paulo Coelho (1998). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, HarperSanFrancisco

Love You, Suffering, Painful

FaceBook post by Paulo Coelho from May 16, 2014

Beauty is present in all creation, but the danger lies in the fact that we allow ourselves to be influenced by what people think. We deny our own beauty because others can't or won't recognize it. We try to imitate what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as 'pretty' & little by little, our soul fades. We forget the world is what we imagine it to be. We stop being the sun and become, instead, the pool of water reflecting it.

Lying, Thinking, People

I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.

Life, Spring, Love You

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2011.

I needed to talk about my real personal history, in order to become free of it.

Real, Order, Personal History

The journey towards the top of the mountain is always longer than you think. Don't fool yourself: the moment will come where what seemed to be close to you is in fact still very far away.

Life, Inspiration, Thinking

I learned long ago that in order to heal my wounds, I must have the courage to face up with them.

Long Ago, Order, Faces

FaceBook post by Paulo Coelho from Jun 02, 2014

We are entering a new world in which we can choose to follow our own steps, not those that society forces us to take.

Entering, World, Steps

If I had a choice, if I had understood earlier that the reason my days were all the same was because I wanted them like that, perhaps.

Choices, Reason, Wanted

But when he thought to complain about the burden of its weight, he remembered that, because he had the jacket, he had withstood the cold of the dawn. We have to be prepared for change, he thought, and he was grateful for the jacket's weight and warmth. The jacket had a purpose, and so did the boy.

Grateful, Boys, Dawn

Paulo Coelho (2009). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, p.8, Harper Collins

Judging oneself to be inferior to other people was one of the worst acts of pride because it was the most destructive way of being different.

Pride, People, Judging

Today I am a woman torn between the terror that everything might change and the equal terror that everything might carry on exactly the same for the rest of my days.

Might, Today, Torn

FaceBook post by Paulo Coelho from Nov 19, 2014

...he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke-the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love.

Love, Heart, Understanding

Paulo Coelho (1998). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, HarperSanFrancisco

Sex was always surrounded by taboos, and I don't see it necessarily as a manifestation of evil. I think that sexuality is first and foremost the way that God chooses for us to be here on earth, to enjoy this energy of love in the physical plane.

Love, Sex, Thinking

You still haven't managed to heal the scars left by some of the injustices committed against you in your life and it doesn't do you any good. All it does is feed a constant desire to feel sorry for yourself, because you were the victim of people stronger than you. Or else it makes you go to the other extreme and disguise yourself as an avenger ready to strike out at the people who hurt you. Isn't that a waste of time?...It is human, but it's not intelligent or reasonable.

Hurt, Sorry, Intelligent

We have to be prepared for change.

Be Prepared, Prepared

Paulo Coelho (2009). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, p.8, Harper Collins

If you want to achieve your objectives, you have to be prepared for a daily dose of pain or discomfort. At first, it's unpleasant and demotivating, but in time you come to realise that it's part of the process of feeling good, and the moment arrives when, if you don't feel pain, you have a sense that the exercises aren't having the desired effect.

Pain, Exercise, Feel Good

Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.

Beautiful, Simplicity, Sober

Veronika had noticed that a lot of people she knew would talk about the horros in other people's lives as if they were genuinely concerned to help them, but the truth was that they took pleasure in the suffering of others, because that made them believe they were happy and that life had been generous with them

Believe, Suffering Of Others, People

Hell is when we look back during that fraction of a second and know that we wasted an opportunity to dignify the miracle of life. Paradise is being able to say at that moment: “I made some mistakes, but I wasn’t a coward. I lived my life and did what I had to do.

Mistake, Opportunity, Miracle

Paulo Coelho (2011). “Aleph”, p.21, HarperCollins UK

Each human being has his or her own sexual identity and should be able to exercise that identity without guilt as long as they do not force that sexual identity on others.

Inspiration, Exercise, Long

There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.

Life, Inspiring, Happiness
