Life takes us by surprise and orders us to move toward the unknown -even when we don't want to and when we think we don't need to. - Paulo Coelho

It's not my story anymore: whenever I speak about the past now, I feel as if I were talking about something that has nothing to do with me. All that remains in the present are the voice, the presence, and the importance of fulfilling my mission. I don't regret difficulties I experienced; I think they helped me to become the person I am today, I feel the way a warrior must feel after years of training; he doesn't remember the details of everything he learned, but he knows how to strike when the time is right.

Sadness does not last forever when we walk in the direction of that which we always desired.

Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place.
