While in UG I was introduced to one of my new favorite authors: Paulo Coelho. And as I struggle to figure out what the next step in my own journey is, here are some amazing quotes from his work "The Alchemist." I hope they bless you as they bless me...
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
What's the world's greatest lie? It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.
People learn early in their lives what is their reason for being.
When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living now.
When you are in love, things make even more sense
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. You've got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.
"There is only one way to learn," the alchemist answered. "It's through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.
People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them.
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.
Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.
When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.
