I needed a lift today, and I saw a post with this man’s name:
And I found some of his quotes:
Paulo Coelho Quotes
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
Don’t waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.
One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.
When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.
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.
You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.
Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

***
And now I feel refreshed, ready to face the world with hope and confidence.
The third quote is speaking to me today, in particular. Another day at the office…

I agree. Sometimes, it feels like a brick wall we speak to rather than a person.
