Quotations
Paulo Coelho
When you travel towards your objective, be sure to pay attention to the path. The path teaches us the best way to arrive and enriches us while we are travelling along it.
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything.

If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
