One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving. ~ Paulo Coelho
Have you ever taken a new position and realized once you started you were in over your head? Man, I can tell you stories. I’ve done it more than once. There was no turning back. I was married and had five young children. That was motivation enough for me. I did the only thing I knew how to do, I worked hard. When working hard wasn’t working, I worked even harder. There were times when I accused myself of making a bad decision, but I worked on. Eventually, I started to see progress. I began to understand the work culture and figure out the important parts of my new job. I never complained publicly but my sainted wife caught an earful. God bless her. When you can’t look back, the only direction you can go is forward. When times like this hit, work hard. You’ll hit and miss. Keep working at it. You’ll get it right. And, you’ll understand what author Paulo Coelho meant when he wrote, “You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.”
“Don’t give to anyone the power to put you down. Haters are losers pretending to be winners.”
“All you have to do is to pay attention; lessons always arrive when you are ready, and if you can read the signs, you will learn everything you need to know in order to take the next step.”
You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say.
“I closed my eyes and let the music flow through me, cleansing my soul of all fear and sin and reminding me that I am always better than I think and stronger than I believe.” ~ Paulo Coelho
Hide your craziness behind a beautiful smile. That’s all you need. Paulo Coelho
