The wise are wise only because they love. Fools are fools only because they think they can understand love.
Quotations
Paulo Coelho
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.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. 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.
Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose - and commit myself to - what is best for me.
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
