Quote of the Day

by Paulo Coelho on May 19, 2008

By Paulo Coelho

Every day, God gives us, as well as the sun,
a moment when it is possible to change anything
that is causing us unhappiness.
The magic moment is the moment when
a “yes” or a “no” can change our whole existence.
Every day, we try to pretend that we do not see
that moment, that it does not exist,
that today is the same as yesterday
and that tomorrow will be the same too.
However, anyone who pays close attention to
his day will discover the magic moment.
It might be hidden in the instant
that we put the key in the door in the morning,
in the moment of silence after supper,
in the thousand and one things
that appear to us to be the same.
This moment exists, a moment in which
all the strength of the stars flows through us
and allows us to perform miracles.
(By the river Piedra I sat Down and Wept)

Hi Paulo,
I do beleive in this magic moment.A simple yes or no will change our lives.Is it another way of describing the phenomenon caled FATE? This moment can give a positive or negative change na?.. Is it in our hand that the behavoiur of this moments turn positive or negative.

With respect
Devi..

I believe one moment to be different from the next moment its up to the individual whether they realize it or not that they are in a wondrous magical moment or just another moment which they are not in ,because they are thinking about the past or future to much I guess.All moments are magical and should be treasured one never knows that at any given moment it things can change that alter your life forever . Love and Light Tania and it is a beautiful quote Paulo .

From the moment you open your eyes and senses each day, you have choices about how to feel and perceive. Those choices define whoe you are and whether your soul is evolving.

really!! we sometimes not recognize or at all times unrecognize those blessed moments that God gave us each day.. we realized in the end that those treasured moments are the ones that are long awaited moments of our lives…

Hmm..such a beautiful quote Paulo,

Those moments…unforgettable moments..

I’ve opened the book this morning, I received from my aunt “The snowflake” randomly just to see what it brings me, and..:
”Some morning…awaking. There came the time to return to the world and amaze about its beauty.”
Yes, beauty of each moment, of the spring that we may have not been able to notice..
I wander why is it possible sometimes to lose yourself so much that nothing around you makes you smile.
In those moments..when we’re somewhere else..are those moments..lost? Hmm..depends where we are..
Can you compare moments? Which are more beautiful…more precious? if they all full of light…full of love..?
I guess you cannot have everything…you always end up losing something…and you will never know whether this moment…was..the one..

love
Agnieszka

The growing process
of miracles
each day…
A flower does not say:
‘I’ll give it a miss today’…

Lots of love,

Vicky
