The most important meetings have already been combined by souls before the bodies are even created. Usually, they happen when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. Meetings await us, but most of the time we avoid them happening. If we're desperate, instead, if we have nothing left to lose or we're quite enthusiastic about life, then the unknown occurs and our universe changes tack. (from "11 minutes")

    The warriors of light aren't always sure of what they're doing. They vey often spent their nights wide awake, thinking their life is meaningless. This is why they're warriors of light. Because they make mistakes. Because they constantly put questions to themselves. Because they search a reason: and they'll certainly fing it.

      The warrior of light has learnt that God uses solitude to teach cohabitation. He uses rage to show the infinite value of peace. He uses tediousness to underline the importance of adventure and abandonment.
      God uses silence to give a teaching on the responsability of words.
      He uses tiredness so to understand the importance of awakening. He uses illness to underline the blessing of health.
      God uses fire to give a lesson on water. He uses Earth so to understand the importance of air. He uses death to show the importance of life.

        She fills everything. She is the only reason I am alive. I look around, I prepare myself for
        the talk I am to give, and I understand why I braved the snow, the traffic jams, and the ice on the roads: in order to be reminded that every day I need to rebuild myself and to accept for the first time in my entire existence that I love another human being more than I love myself.

          [...] your Personal Legend. [...] It's what you've always wanted to do. Everyone, in the prime of their youth, know what their Personal Legend is. In that period of life everything is clear, everything is possible, and men are not afraid of dreaming and desiring all that they would like to see done in life. But then, as time goes by, a misterious force starts to try and demonstrate how impossible it is to actually realize the Personal Legend. They prepare your spirit and your will. Because a great truth exists on this planet: whoever you are or whatever you do, when you wish something willfully, and because this wish was born before the Universe's soul. That represents your mission on earth. [...]
