Hi!
Sometimes we are in troubles (and more times the solution it’s really easy) or we have to do something different and new, and we think “I can’t do it” “I can’t go out of this trouble”… these words are for me the invisible rope. I think that the 90% of times we can do it, we only have to find our positivity force.

(Excuse my english, I’m spanish and I don’t use more the english language).

Kisses,

Miriam

Hiya,
RE; thought of the day,
I always assumed that Love was a man’s personal legend….or at least a great part of it.
What this means personally to you Paulo, shall it ever be a Mystery?
Thanks, big smile, xx
Love U

This rings so true to me.

As a person who was brought up in a traditional eastern family, I am often held down by an invisible rope, namely norms and traditions.

Not that I think they’re bad, but sometimes I feel like they clipped my wings so that I would stay on the ground forever, and not be able to fly and be free.

But your words - your books - have inspired me so much that I decided to never give up. Whenever I feel down,I would look up for the words to lift me up again. And I thank you for that. =)

May you keep on inspiring me - and many other people - forever.

I agree with fLUXman, the invisible rope is everywhere. As an advocate against domestic violence and child abuse I’ve seen how easily a spirit can be broke down by the invisible hope. All of us have the moral duty to stop the hand which is holding the invisible rope around the body and soul of the unprotected and lonely - the ones who can not do for themselves anymore.

Olá Paulo! Atma Namaste! :)

That’s why, in every single day of my life, I keep repeating to myself: Marta, don’t give up, never never never give up!!! Keep on trying, forever trying, if it’s necessary! And one day, as soon as you can imagine, what you want, will be a reality, just because you’re building that, step by step, day by day!!!

I know how much we need freedom and how much it’s important! Thank you very much for this message, Paulo! I knew that history before but it’s ALWAYS important to refresh our minds about that.

Thank YOU! Be Blessed You, Paulo!
Beijo in your heart!

Marta :)

Thanks for the inspiration, Paulo.
Sometimes the only limitation we have is our own mind.
Amazingly, a couple of weeks ago, I shared the same story with my friends and readers on my blog :)

the invisible rope,
this rope is every where,
governments use it everywhere,
now with the net and TV all the ropes can be easily felt by all ,
did you know that drinking water in most countries has more than 64 additives,primary rope. Our useless education system which leads to mass production and kills creativity, another big rope. monetry system of control,this rope makes us believe that we are forever poor.
