There are times when we reach a plateau in our lives when we find ourselves with nobody to turn to. When we lose everything, we find out who we really are.
If you repeat a mistake, it suddenly becomes part of who you are and no longer a mistake.
When there’s no work to do, it’s best to be happy for no reason. If you are always busy, you’re not wasting your time; you’re always in control. When you know how to demand, you will succeed.
The main things I tell people not to do is to fight and to fight for things that might have nothing to do with you and are just for something else, and that they are not doing for themselves. They are not fighting for their own happiness and they are not fighting for their own interest, but for something that is not a reason for existence. And there is nothing that makes more sense than that.
Everyone knows how to make life difficult, but no one knows how to make it easy, because when it comes to ‘making it easy’, nobody ever really knows what it means.

“Be silent and you won’t be condemned. Your friends don’t care, but your enemies will not believe it.
Paulo Coelho once commented that making mistakes is part of life. It is as if he said that making mistakes is a normal thing that will happen in the course of a life. But what he said is that he has made mistakes, and that it is part of his life. So, you should not be discouraged when you do not succeed in something. The world does not want that you do not take risks, especially if you are courageous.
My life hasn’t been about bravery, but I have found that once you take big risks, life gives you more of what you need than what you want.
This one is interesting enough that I wanted to include it. I personally don’t think it’s a good idea to have everything happen at once (aka The Big Twist) but I’m not sure how to express that.
You will someday realize the time you have left, and you must try to live the life you have left. Take some time to enjoy the things and people you have, because when that day arrives, you won’t have the time to enjoy anything.
It’s important to be clear about your aspirations and goals, because in order to reach them, we have to be aware of the path we have to take.

The authors are seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live it out.
There are times when people are kind, then there are times when they are gentle and there are times when they are just good. I have been able to watch people grow in the past. I have watched how they have changed and how they have matured. When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
To focus on what we want and stay fixated on the things we want to achieve in life. We want to achieve things in our personal life by doing things we enjoy.
I have no control over what’s happening to me, and my life is being controlled by fate. This is the world’s greatest lie.
Don’t allow fear to stop you from doing what you want to do. If you can talk to your heart, then you can do anything you want to do.
Being God’s children means to forgive and love in all situations – good and bad. It means to be generous and forgiving of others, as well as ourselves.

The text (or rather the translation) has nothing to do with this phrase, but it’s a good example of how a paraphrase can improve a translation.
I had everything I wanted: a job, a girlfriend, and a new life. This was the first time I felt I had all my dreams fulfilled, even though I was happy with the results.
There is a lot of pressure on us to “understand” other people and their situation. However, a lot of people feel they do not have to try to understand someone who views things differently from them. So, they will try to understand you and make you feel comfortable, rather than you trying to understand them and make them feel comfortable.
Don’t wait, and don’t forget. However, knowing which decision to take can be more painful.
When you find your path, you must not fear to make mistakes. You need to have the courage to face your problems and then you will see the way.
