This applies to me especially today… and it’s so good to know that this is possible…
Love, & just do it, Paul
Yess !!! I agree…I discovered this reality recently actually… before I thought that God presented our destiny to us and we didn’t have to do anything with this, just accept or not accept….but it doesn’t work exactely like this…and I suffered a lot for not having chosen regarding a specific situation in my life.
WE ALWAYS HAVE THE CHOICE ON WHAT TO DO !
God bless you all !

PS : Paulo, I always have a great pleasure to read everything you write. “The greatest gift” is simply merveillous ! Sometimes I have the sensation that your thoughts and pen are guided directely by GOD ! Thanks God for your son Paulo Coelho !!
Man needs to choose, in order to feel that he is free…i dont know if that is the case…Sometimes things happen beyond our ‘power’ of choice…
Love and Graditude

I think that the decisions, belong to our free will. The choices belong to our ..Destiny. We muat be able to read the ’signs’ and be ready to make the right choice.
I read once the book by Richard Bach, ‘One’ and I liked the possibility of being able to …live all…possibilities in some other dimension..Imagine, if it was possible…
LOVE,
THELMA
the first choice you made was to live in this realitiy.
Dear Natasja,
If only we knew what choice we were making and in which reality…., I think we would not move to make …any choice!!! {Just a joke]. But imagine if we were all Light, never ending..
LOVE,
Thelma
How would you describe the differens?
Decide = to think carefully about the different possibilities that are available and choose one of them.
Choose = to decide which thing or person you want out of the ones that are available.
This is the explanation of the Oxford Dictionary.
In Greek, which is my language, the different meaning is quite clear.
LOVE,
Thelma
for me destiny and free choice are both gifts , i have the choice of putting them my closet and look at it (and say ooo nice or ooooo ugly or just nothing) or unpack and make the most difficult choice : fully accept it…. or put it back again …..and find courage
Ok, I stay even when this means that I will lose what made my life comfortable. Today I got a message that I had to go back to where I come from before the end of the month caused of some formalities that I have to follow…and I won’t choose for their decision.

By leaving we often lose what makes life comfortable… I have experienced this so many times, and it will certainly happen again… how come by staying in your case dear Hildegarde? You’ll make the right decision for sure… it is your destiny, and that is good so…
Love, Paul
I believe that in every given moment we must take a decision, although it is not our choice, but we are forced by circumstances to act, the most sensible thing to do is put down the advantages and disadvantages and …sleep! In the morning our decision will given to us by our inner-self. The outcome, will be our..destiny.
LOVE,
Thelma
Sleep is the medicine , many times…i so agree, my sweet Thelma..it helps us plunge into our Inner Self..

I donot believe in destiny from the beginning of time man has the power to choose and given the free will to lead his life but HE tend to forget that His Creator’s will shall be done.
But if you don´t know which way to go? What should you do then?
That´s when you should listen to your heart whispering.
And if you find it hard to hear it … meditation it´s a
good tool :-)
To listen to your inner(higher)vocie, to get still even if the world around you is chaotic.
It´s really hard to do theese day with all the noise around.
My best way is to get into the woods with my dog and just feel that GOD is all around you ..in the flowers, trees and birds etc. That´s when I feel most alive and can hear my heart :-)
Warm Love

I just left everything behind and I don’t want to go back again because of money. I rather lose all comfort and follow my heart dear Paul…which doesn’t mean that I will stay where I am now but I go further not back to the formalities which keeps me going on a way which I don’t want to.
Love
All Ways
Hildegarde
