How did it happen that you decided to become a writer?
At school, I realized that I was able to express my feelings through writing. When I first decided to pay the price of my dream - to become a writer - I already knew that my mother could be right: nobody reads in Brazil, I would never be able to succeed. But I was not paralyzed by her advice, and I fought against all odds, because I needed more enthusiasm in life. There were moments that I was overcome by anxiety, or frustration, but I was wise enough to burn all my ships before engaging in my own adventure. There was no way back. Therefore, I see the future as a result of the present moment, and I see the present moment as a result of decisions that I was capable to take at the right time, against all advises.

I’m so happy You did.
The world would be so poor, so..empty without You, without Your writing.
You are the necessary link between love, the world, and God.
lots of love

My brother told me once: “i am in love of life… we are going to marry”
For seven years ago i came to Europe with 50 dollars and a ticket to fly back to southamerica. Everybody told me i should be crazy, i said i just will go and watch, maybe only for one day and come back the next day or maybe for many years… Now im still living in Europe, have my own company and laugh when other managers cry that there is nothing possible without money. Everything is possible!
Lots of hopeness,

A warrior is never truly overcome for he knows he must always continue! The heart of a warrior drives him forward, despite the warnings of others, because the discovery of his destiny is worth giving everything he has.
It is never selfish to follow your hearts desire. Doing so creates a magic and waters the seeds of hope in more hearts than his own. When a man can believe in his dreams and be brave enough to throw all caution to the winds in order to pursue them, this inspires many others to do the same.
The adventure continues past ,present ,future all as a result from decisions, all that is truly holy is to meet heaven on Earth .

There’s nothing like a backdrop of what you know you won’t want to do with the rest of your life to confirm your decision.
Dearest Paulo and Friends,
This just expresses the importance of being true to who you are- against all odds, no matter what anyone or everyone tells you. I guess, some people are just born to influence this world, whether they realise it or not :)
Thank you for being

:) Reminds about Alexandre (and Athena so), well…
I can’t forget what I learned…
We need to burn our ships, true. As for me there’s still one hidden near the port and behind the mountain. I don’t manage to burn it.
It doen’t avert me to write, but maybe it distils its perfume still.
Blessing.
