Gracias, …por seguir tu sueño y “compartir” tu alma con el mundo. Tus libros son escuela para mi.
UUURRRRUUUUUUU … lindo Paulo
I put this quote into my PDA in the “about me” section today. I always get sick of seeing my contact info on the front screen. Now I can remember that I need to follow the signs and be who I am not who I “think” I am. Knowing this gives me freedom from fear.
Ca,
-”Your Prayer is never unheard, and your blessings even if that is for one sentence or one second will always make you feel better to live forever.”
-”When you need the wisdom, you will get wisdom and when you will need blessings and care you will also get the same., because purity and cosmic energy for humanity always is ONE not based on duality insane.”
God blesses you too !
and
God bless you all !
True some times we have to ‘take a big leap..you can’t cross a chasm in 2 small steps’..worth it -to have faith and find who we really are.
Thanks Paulo,
Love,
Breda

Savita, what an amazing comment. What you wrote was so visual for me. Each word was like an animation for a childrens book, which a parent would read to their children. I saw a spaceship, control panel, astronaut, field, the people, the signs.
and i would also agree with Savita – that at some stage, one can begin to feel that “Maybe it is time for me to let go of what I think I am in order to become what I was all along, and just did not see it.”
it was the lack of consensus, or conflicts in life that led me to walk away from myself, in part, originally… but i have come full circle… and value my original self greater now.
because i have been blessed to be surrounded by people who have courage and vision and support diversity
;o)
Punctum temporis-to die every moment for the past and not to be born in present “premature”.
These words mean a great deal to me today. Truly, it is necessary to let go – I see that. I don’t want to admit it to myself because I don’t want to do it. I always wanted to be a____________(fill in the bank). I always wanted to be an astronaut and fly to the moon (not really, just an analogy), but I do not see myself lifting off. Try as I might, I’m just not leaving the ground. At the same time, I see another door, another way, another path opening itself up to me. But first I have to crawl down out of my imaginary spaceship, and start walking. This is painful, because I so loved my spaceship, I loved how I looked sitting in it. I loved to run my fingers across that intricate panel of control buttons and imagine that one day I would learn how to work these, just which combination to push, and… BLASTOFF! But that hasn’t happened yet. So I look out from the window of my spaceship and I see this path, leading out across an open field and into the forest beyond. In fact, there are a number of people – some strangers, some friends, some that I know very well, others that I know not at all – standing in that open field and waving to me, pointing, in fact, pointing to that path. They seem to be directing me, motioning to me to crawl down out of my spaceship and follow it, see where it leads me. But I’m an astronaut! At least in my own self-concept, the idea that I have created in my own mind about who I am and what I am here to do in this life. But these people seem to have some other idea, they seem to see some other sort of potential in me that I do not see myself, and they are pretty adamant in expressing it. Oh, look! One of them is jumping up and down, waving her arms in the air at me, pointing to that path I never imagined existed. Another is holding a sign, emblazoned with bold black letters: THIS WAY > Yet another is waving a huge red banner with a similar inscription printed on it. So am I just going to sit here in the seat of my spaceship, waiting to blast off? Am I going to let this opportunity pass me by just because I am willing to let myself be held back by these expectations I have developed about what I am capable of achieving in this life? Or am I going to unbuckle myself from what “I think I am” and move – set out on that path?!
This is not an easy proposal that you present, Paulo Coelho, but it has started me to thinking. Maybe it is time for me to let go of what I think I am in order to become what I was all along, and just did not see it. We should always follow our own dreams – not someone else’s idea of how we should live our lives and what we should be. But there are also times in life when we are actually blind to the potential that lies within ourselves. It takes those around us with the courage to speak up, to awaken us to other possibilities – to open our eyes to what we truly are.
Thank you!
And with much love!
Savita

;o)i think this quote reminds me of another similar one – of losing oneself in order to find oneself… yet though i still can not identify with the quote fully, i would agree [considerably ;o) ]
in my own learning curve and in relation to this topic here – I have had to learn to lessen my striving for independence and overconfidence…so then to take on advice of my elders and most of all, their vision of who I am.. rather than charge ahead with who i think I am.
It is very very hard !!!! It has forced questions on concept of gender roles; spiritual responsibility; true intellect; and most of all perhaps becoming ‘my own hero’ rather than to ideolise those i admire.
So i always – well, these days – ponder who God would want me to be… and take it from there; using both experience, knowledge and wisdom learned
.. and balanced with remaining passions, hopes, creativity and instinct.
I would also hazard to say, that the blooming period of youth is always in opposition to the elder generations… … yet it seems more so, i feel, for ‘us’ right now… always constesting everything once “so called ‘wisdom’ “… the trust seems to have dissipated.
Maybe though, the world is relearning to live from the heart… but maybe it has reached the limit of ego-mania…
;o)
.. so trust in God… let go and, believe ;o)
“Ne demandez pas que tout dans la vie obeisse a votre volonte. Priez pour que les choses arrivent comme elles doivent arriver et vous verrez qu’elle est bien mieux que vous ne l’esperiez.”
Have an open mind, only that way you let the opportunities arrive.
Dear all,
We need to forget what we think we are in order to become who we really are.

-”Forget yourself to understand better self.”
-”Not everything is permanent, not even universe, material gains and spiritual path, everything is temporary be its your own existence or eternity.”
-”To know me, you know better, what is me?”
-”We may end up becoming something that we do not want but in becoming something which you never wanted, you will later not regret of becoming that.”
-”I don’t want to become anybody and anything. I don’t want to become because to become human is the greatest gift of all.”
God bless you all !
