“Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the moments that take your breath away.”
“Who is afraid to die, is afraid to live”
“If we have nothing to die for, we have nothing to live for”
“What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger”

Some quotations that describe my way of living. Too many people don’t dare to live their dreams and when it’s too late, they regret it. Not long ago, I read the Alchimist of Paulo Coelho and I found some beautiful quotations in the book:
“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” “Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.”
” There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.”
“You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, it’s because it wasn’t true love…”
Philip Jones Griffiths used to say that too many people are so used to a boring lifestyle, encouraged by the media, that they don’t even see what they are missing. “Go check it out, it is all there and wants to be found”.
I’m just writing this post, because so many people are telling me that they think it’s great what I am doing, but they could never do the same. Of course, they can, everyone can, if you only dare to listen to your heart…
