If I had to give you one piece of advice it would be this: don't be intimidated by other people's opinions.

If I had to give you one piece of advice it would be this: don't be intimidated by other people's opinions.

Giving, Advice, Would Be

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2011.

If I had to give you one piece of advice, it would be this: don’t be intimidated by other people’s opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do. Seek out people who aren’t afraid of making mistakes and who, therefore, do make mistakes. Because of that, their work often isn’t recognized, but they are precisely the kind of people who change the world and, after many mistakes, do something that will transform their own community completely.

Mistake, People, Giving

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2010.

Give yourself freedom to try out new things Don't be so set in your ways that you can't grow.

Giving, Trying, Way

Lord, protect our decisions, because making Decision is a way of praying. Give us the courage after our doubts, to be able to choose between one road and another. May our YES always be a YES and our NO always be a NO. Once we have chosen our road, may we never look back nor allow our soul to be eaten away by remorse. And in order for this to be possible.

Order, Giving, Decision

I will be capable of loving, regardless of whether I am loved in return, Of giving, when I have nothing, Of working happily, even in the midst of difficulties, Of holding out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned, Of drying my tears, even while I weep, Of believing, even when no one believes in me.

Believe, Hands, Giving

The fool who loves giving advice on our garden never tends his own plants

FaceBook post by Paulo Coelho from Feb 17, 2014

Be blessed. And just as you are transforming your own life, may you transform the lives of those around you. When they ask, do not forget to give. When they knock at your door, be sure to open it. When they lose something and come to you, do whatever you can to help them find what they have lost. First, though, ask; knock at the door and find what is missing in your life. A hunter always knows what to expect - eat or be eaten.

Blessed, Doors, Giving

Only he who gives up is defeated. Everyone else is victorious.

Giving Up, Giving, Defeated

Love Is, Giving, Joy

FaceBook post by Paulo Coelho from Dec 04, 2011

At some point, we have each said through our tears, “I’m suffering for a love that’s not worth it.” We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules. But ultimately there is no good reason for our suffering, for in every love lies the seed of our growth.

Lying, Love Is, Giving

Simply having the courage to say senseless things made me euphoric. I was free, with no need to seek or to give explanations for what I was doing. This freedom lifted me to the heavens - where greater love, one that forgives everything and never allows you to feel abandoned, once again enveloped me.

True Love, Giving, Heaven

The search for happiness is purely personal and not a model we can give to others.

The trouble with words is that they give us the illusory sense that we are making ourselves understood as well as understanding what others are saying. However, when we turn around and come face-to-face with our destiny, we discover that words are not enough.

Destiny, Giving, Understanding

However difficult it may be to accept what happens to us, one must understand that moments such as this give us the possibility for radical change in our behavior.

Giving, May, Radical Change

Paulo Coelho (2015). “Warrior of the Light -”, p.37, Booklassic

The Saint finds her true reason for living in unconditional love and in her ability to give without asking anything in return.

Women, Unconditional Love, Giving

We suffer because we feel we are giving more than we receive. We suffer because our love is going unrecognized. We suffer because we are unable to impose our own rules.

Love Is, Giving, Suffering
