paulo quotes

when everything at hand seems out of control, i surf the web and look for "inspiring" thoughts. one great source is the works of paulo coelho. this brazilian author delivers words that speak of his soul that everytime i read one of his books he never fails to awake some kind of divinity in me. (heheh. don't make me elaborate on this!) here are a few of my picks.

"But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for."

"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. "
Source: The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream

"You must always know what it is that you want."
Source: The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
"You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle."

"and since all things are new, you see only the beauty in them and you feel happy to be alive." (on travelling)

"A fall from the third floor hurts as much as a fall from the hundredth. If I have to fall, may it be from a high place. "

"By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept" is my favorite book from him. there's so much in that book. after finishing it, i needed to share and talk about the things that i've read to someone. :D

yeah, dapat positive all the time! :D make yourself the "winner" in every situation. :)

p.s. because of u, i inserted the word "just" in my profile. ehheh.. medyo misleading nga.
