Paulo Coelho Wisdom

- When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
- People are capable at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.
- Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear or failure.
- Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
- If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.
- When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.

- It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
- When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.
- I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is an one way street. I believe we all have the choice as whether we fulfill our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

- You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one. Each day brings a miracle of its own. Its just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

- The simplest things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
- Courage in the path is what makes the path manifest itself.
- Scars speak more loudly than the sword that caused them.
- Happiness is something that multiplies when it is divided.
