Coelho’s philosophy emphasizes, “the search for meaning in life. He encourages individuals to explore their passions, discover their true selves and align their actions with their inner values and beliefs.”
His quotes are profound and we kept crossing paths recently. Some made me sit up and take notice and others kept swirling around in my head. They do make you think and that is a good thing about good quotes. Here are some of his more important quotes. Read, enjoy and let them take root.
“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
I know this one really well. Fear is my constant companion and often it stops me in my tracks and keeps me from moving forward but I am learning.
“Things do not always happen the way I would have wanted and it’s best that I get used to that.”
“You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.”
We know this one well, don’t we? How often have we fallen only to remain there and let life pass us by? More times than I can count on my fingers but I’m learning to move forward, one step at a time.
“Life has a way of testing a persons will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen at once.”
Yup, when it rains it pours but there is an end to the storm at some point and that is the good news.
“On your journey to your dream, be ready to face oasis and deserts. In both cases, don’t stop.”
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change.”
If that’s the case, I should have won a gold medal by now!
“If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.”
What if that new hello is as bad as the one you left behind? Just asking.
“Close some doors today, not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.”
This one is worth noting.
“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”
Hmm….like my walk in the fields?
“Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.”
So true.
“Friendship is not about whom you know the longest. It is about who came and never left.”
I am still learning that not all friends are really friends.
“The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”
This is my mantra because it basically means, NEVER GIVE UP!
Have an amazing day.
