i finally got around to reading the alchemist, by paulo coelho. what a quick and easy read, but so much inspiration packed into such a sweet story. seems most appropriate to post a few beautiful words today...

there is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

...we contemplate each other, and we want each other, and i give it life and warmth, and it gives me my reason for living.

you will never be able to escape from your heart. so it's better to listen to what it has to say.

when i have truly been searching for my treasure, every day has been luminous, because i've known that every hour was a part of the dream that i would find it.

one is loved because one is loved. no reason is needed for loving.

i don't live in either my past or my future. i'm interested only in the present. if you can concentrate on the present, you'll be a happy man.

when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

The richest person is the one who is contented with what he has.
~ Robert Savage

Abundance is about being rich, with or without money.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much.

As long as you can start, you are all right. The juice will come.
~ Ernest Hemingway

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you really want.
~ Margaret Young

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.
