As a teenager, Coelho wanted to become a writer. Upon telling his mother this, she responded, "My dear, your father is an engineer. He's a logical, reasonable man with a very clear vision of the world. Do you actually know what it means to be a writer?" At 17, Coelho's introversion and opposition to following a traditional path led to his parents committing him to a mental institution from which he escaped three times before being released at the age of 2
Going after a dream has a price. It may mean abandoning our habits, it may make us go through hardships, or it may lead us to disappointment. But however costly, it is never as high as the price paid by people who live in his/her comfort zone.
I thank all those who laughed at my dreams; you taught me to grow respecting other people's struggles.
Start by changing your thoughts. Finish by changing your life.
It's better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life.
When we follow our dreams, we may give the impression to others that we are miserable and unhappy. But what others think is not important: what is important is the joy in our heart.
The first step to get what you want is to get rid of what you don't.
It will work. IF you forget all the reasons it won't.
There are days that life is about dreams, goals, brightness. And there are days that life is just about putting foot in front of the other and continue walking - there is nothing wrong about this
Always ask yourself if what you’re doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow.
