Life is Beautiful! :)!

And I leave you with a few of my favorite quotes to ponder:

"A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires."
— Paulo Coelho

"Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."
— Paulo Coelho (Brida)

"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
— Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)

"Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem"
— Paulo Coelho (Veronika Decides to Die)

"We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body."
— Paulo Coelho (The Pilgrimage)

"It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path."
— Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)
