"You must never be ashamed. Accept all that life gives you and make an effort to drink from the cups it presents you. You must taste all the wines: of some, only a few sips; of others, the whole bottle.""How can I recognize them?""From the flavour. Only who tasted bad wine can identify the good one."
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing what decision to take is the worst suffering.
When the door to happiness closes, another opens, but often we look for so long at that closed door, that we don't see the one that opened within us.
We must never judge other people's lives, because every person knows only their pain and renounce. It is one thing to feel you're on the right path, another to think it is your only one.
The mirror reflects perfectly; it makes no mistakes because he doesn't think.
[...] 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. [...]
And when each day is the same as the next, it?s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun shines. >
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.
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.
You don't need to pretend you're strong, you mustn't always show that everything is going fine, you can't worry about what others think, if you should feel the need to cry do so because crying is good, to the last tear, because only then you can go back to smiling.
