Paulo Coelho quotes

Author of The Alchemist's quotes about love and life


Paulo Coelho is a Brazilian author and lyricist, who is most recognized for his novel “The Alchemist”. Coelho is a strong advocate for realizing your dreams, and believing in the power of the universe to bring your goals and dreams to fruition. When we release positive energy to the universe, we will shine a light from within ourselves, which will ultimately be projected to those around us.

We cannot control what happens to us, and we should not diminish the importance of both negative and positive experiences, as they are both valuable learning tools. You can either choose to wallow in pity when you experience an unexpected setback, or you can pick yourself up and move on from what you cannot control. It is your reaction to extenuating circumstances that truly reveals your character. Opportunities that present themselves to you and are not taken due to inaction or fear of failure may end up being the greatest mistakes of life.

Each day brings with it many blessings and small miracles, and you can either choose to stop and be thankful for their presence in your life, or you can choose to ignore them. We should also allow ourselves to feel sadness and true emotion completely, as sometimes these feelings provide the ultimate inspiration and creative energy. The quotes attributed to Paulo Coelho allow us to stop and remember that our destiny is controlled not only by the actions we take, but through the positive energy we release to others and to the surrounding universe.

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready.
