By Paulo Coelho
It is necessary to run risks, follow certain paths and abandon others.
No one can make a choice without feeling fear.

By Paulo Coelho
Each person knows how best to be at peace with life; some need at least some degree of security, others launch themselves fearlessly into danger. There are no formulae for living out one’s dream: each of us, by listening to our own heart, will know how best to act.
The American writer Sherwood Anderson was always extremely undisciplined and only managed to write when fuelled by his own rebelliousness. His first publishers, concerned about the abject poverty in which Anderson lived, decided to send him a weekly cheque as an advance on his next novel.
After a month, they received a visit from the writer, who returned all the cheques.
‘I haven’t been able to write a line in weeks,’ said Anderson. ‘I just can’t write with financial security staring at me across the desk.’

Are you one of your wife’s favorite writers? Do you read your new texts to her before publishing?
She says I am. She is always the second reader of my books before I send them to the publisher (I am the first one). If both of us are satisfied, the book is send to the publisher without any further comment from everybody else. If not, I will clarify some ideas that were not clear.
Dear Valhalla,
thank you for this beautiful image.
Love
Paulo
