Quote of the Day

By Paulo Coelho

What are the three conditions for conversing with one’s angel? “Break a pact. Accept forgiveness. And make a bet.” And, in addition to those three things, courage is needed. A woman’s courage, not a man’s.
(The Valkyries)

    When you fear something, learn as much about it as you can, that’s courage! (a mother to her child)

    Yes, break the pact with the devil = with anything that draws you away from your dreams, that pulls you back and doesn;t help you to move forward.Break the pact you made with fear that you can;t make it..Because you CAN..YOU DEFINITELY CAN..everyone can..Believe again, to yourself , and listen to your heart, cause it is the language of truth and of love, where God exists..and He always gives us chances..So forgive yourself and never look back again..always look up to the sky..and move forward..make the bet, that you can do it..I bet that all of us can do it..and follow our dreams..
    Sure, all of this needs courage…but you needed courage when you plunged into the abyss..so you have courage..use this courage to rise up on the surface and fly…….

    fly to the dreamland…

    This is ….so fascinating!

    I remember reading this book, so.. exciting.

    Break a pact… with whatever held you from becoming…a free person…?

    Accept forgiveness…because it is in forgiving when you….become free….?

    Make a bet….hmm….that whatever happens…you will not abandon your path….?

    It takes a woman’s courage…because only a woman can feel it with all her senses, with her… heart.

    What makes us count the stars?
    What makes us go where no one wants to?
    Follow the stars,
    go to the end
    see…
    the fire.

    This was a great quote……helped me today. Thank you!!!!!

    We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path. - Paulo Coelho

    Good Day Sir!

    I’m Neil Anthony Rusia from the Philippines.I wanted to make this opportunity of expressing my feelings.I totally admired the way you write.I just read your book “Eleven minutes”.I’ve heard that this was the daring book you’ve written.Actuall,I borrowed this from my classmate and I loved reading it.I admire the way you tied up two contrasting elements.You’re amazing.I know that you are a very busy person but I hope you’ll have time to read my comment.You are a genius.While I was reading your website,I tried to check what Paulo Institute was,as one of the links.I more admired seeing that you are helping other people,too.You have a golden heart and thank God I’ve known you even in just some of your novels.

    Actually,11 minutes was still the first novel I read.I haven’t read “The Alchemist” and your other books because we don’t have bookstore in our place.And the book is expensive if I’ll buy in another place.I’m also interested in reading “The Witch of Portobello” and “The Fifth Mountain”.

    Until here Mr.Coelho.It is an honor reading your novel.God Bless.

    To the one trying to walk a straight path, the line between the right hand side and the left hand side appears very thin.

    I think it’s best to let others live their own lives. Move forward without knowing who your enemies are… with the peace of mind they will get what’s coming to them. “They will get what’s coming to them.” Cowardice in enemies… just move forward with great confidence, “They will get what’s coming to them.” Then, be thankful. Without them you would never have experienced how truly aweful people can be. You sometimes have to meet a malice and deeply insecure person to be more appreciative of the trustworthy and confident ones in yourlife. Thank them for reminding you of the difference. Then move forward & repeat, “they will get what’s coming to them.” Karma, I’m lovin’it! :)

    Dear Paulo,

    do you remember the fear when the “flashing” light appeared next to you?
