“In magic – and in life – there is only the present moment, the now. You can’t measure time the way you measure the distance between two points. ‘Time’ doesn’t pass. We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we’re always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and about why we didn’t act as we should have. Or else we think about the future, about what we’re going to do tomorrow, what precautions we should take, what dangers await us around the next corner, how to avoid what we don’t want and how to get what we have always dreamed of.” ―Paulo Coelho
Paulo Coelho
None Of Us Knows…
“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have faith.” ―Paulo Coelho
Love Is A Trap…
“Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.” ―Paulo Coelho
Anxiety Was Born…
“Anxiety was born in the very same moment as mankind. And since we will never be able to master it, we will have to learn to live with it—just as we have learned to live with storms.” ―Paulo Coelho
Don’t Waste Your Time
“Don’t waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.”
―Paulo Coelho
When You Find Your Path
“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.” ―Paulo Coelho
When We Turn Around
“When we turn around & come face to face with our destiny, we discover that words (spoken) are not enough. I know so many people who are brilliant speakers but are quite incapable of practicing what they preach. It’s one thing to describe a situation & quite another to experience it.
I realized a long time ago that a warrior in search of his dream must take his inspiration from what he actually does & not from what he imagines himself doing.” ―Paulo Coelho
Don’t Give In
“Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.” ―Paulo Coelho
Tell Your Heart
“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”
―Paulo Coelho
