By Paulo Coelho
The two hardest tests on the spiritual road
are the patience to wait for the right moment
and the courage not to be disappointed
with what we encounter.

Dear Annie,
It does make sense, it makes more sense to me than you can imagine. I have a pretty good idea of how you feel. I’ve been there myself. The feeling is real. Don’t lose hope though. Keep saying to yourself “this too shall pass” and believe it; it will.
Much love,
Maria
and when it’s your heart you sell
be it for young love
and NOTHING ELSE
thanks

because kissing is allowed online.
I also agree with Liara, well put.
Annie you say
“Patience…when someone is so anxious to overcome a problem, what does he do then?? And then when the problem persists, and doesn’t go away..how to remain patient? and not be disappointed?”
Anxiety comes from your desire to change what is. You view it as a problem. Try to change your outlook, your attitude and see the “problem” as a challenge. If the problem persists is because it is there to teach you something about yourself, maybe the lesson it brings is “patience”.
Read Paulo’s quote again. He says the “hardest” test on the “spiritual road” is to remain patient and to have the courage to accept the outcome of the situation, or “problem”, even if is not what you expected it to be.
If you haven’t read Veronica Decides to die, I recomend it. For me is one of Paulo’s best books.
Yes I agree, I think patience is such a test and then when it finally happens you worry you will be disappointed .But the up side is this while you are patiently waiting great things are going on in the Angelic world ,how could anything God created with his own image be disappointing,its like people that complain about the weather all the time ,but miss seeing the rainbow ..If you worry you will be disappointed then thats what you attract ..as well ..Be positive and trust in the universe i say ..Blessings Tania
Patience is one of the most important quality of a wise man.Love
Dear Annie
We, women are..fragile, at least some of us.
But the light, the love will show us the way.
All we have to do is to..believe.
love to you

Now is precisely the right time for exactly what you are doing. If you didn’t have courage, you wouldn’t be where you are. Dissappointment is just an illusion.
Some of us are so sensitive and fragile, that events go faster than an arrow, hurting heart a lot, while the mood have no time to react face to that disappointment or deception. As if it was uncontrolled by us.
Of course, as a boxer, we can stand up again, but still dazed for awhile.
So true…although it’s not time that we want to cut short, or courage to face the disappointment, it’s the helping hand, we need sometimes in order to cope with the reality around us. When there’s no one around you that can help, that can understand your dream, it is difficult to go outside and follow the road, no matter how beautiful the road may be.
What we can only hope for, is the angel who’ll bring us the light and this light will make the heart a little brighter.
love
Agnieszka
I would say that’s our spirit who is patient with us…
I have lived this one
and am sure to live it again

thanks

Amor para ti Paulo.
