Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
by Paulo Coelho

Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
Perhaps this person will never
be disappointed or disillusioned;
perhaps she won't suffer the way
people do when they have a dream to follow.
But when the person looks back -
and at some point everyone look back -
she will hear her heart, saying,
"What have you done with the miracles
that God planted in your days?
What have you done with the talents
God bestowed on you?"
- Paulo Coelho

When you find your path, you must not be afraid.
You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes.

the tools God uses to show us the way.
- Paulo Coelho

that there is something called mystery.
- Paulo Coelho

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering
is worse than the suffering itself.

keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
- George Eliot

thinking of enslaving the other person.

Don't take it personally.
