Inspiration for a life well lived, this time, from the mouth of Paulo Coelho
The first book of Paulo Coelho I ever read was The Alchemist. My mum gifted it to me, saying she thinks I'd like it, and I really did. It has awakened in me a sense of 'beyond', and I knew there was an answer out there to why I felt like I didn't belong.
I was 13. It took me more than a decade to find my way back to those feelings, and today I thought it would be nice to pay homage to a great writer who inspired me in ways I clearly forgot, until now...
So, in no particular order, here are some quotes to help you stop and reflect on you, your life, where you're headed, what you might want to do differently, or more of...
1. A mistake repeated twice is a decision...
2. When I had nothing left to lose, I had everything
3. A bird in a cage may be safe, but it's not what birds were created for ...
4. When we aim to be or do better, everything around us does the same
5. If you think adventures are dangerous, try staying in your comfort zone; that's where the real catastrophe is
6. If it's costing you your mental health, then it's too expensive
7. You have a choice... to control your thoughts or let them control you
8. Anything you need to learn is learnt by experiencing
9. Any person, at any moment, is capable of doing what they've always dreamt of
10. Change, but start slowly. The direction is more powerful than the speed!
11. Fear is stronger than failure, and in time, it costs a lot more
12. When you want something with all your heart, the whole Universe is clubbing together to help you achieve it.
I wrote these sentences in a slightly different way than what you may be used to. Hopefully, it's making you think about them a little more deeply than before.
One of the most powerful sentences for me, all these years ago, was the one about fear vs failure. Fear always used to hold me back, until one day I learnt to reframe everything, and my life could really start.
Which of these resonates with you most?
What are some new ideas that pop into your mind as you're reading these?

I'll never understand you, HUMMANS, leaning so heavily on external 'knowledge' and 'truth' where really, most of it is completely biased and only reflects the current government and accepted this, that or the other. Nah. Real wisdom comes from within and can never be adapted, mostly because it is both personal and individual!... |
