Something to think about

"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Everyday, we are given the sun- and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't percieved that moment, that it doesn't exist-that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrrow. But it people really pay attenetion to their everyday lives, they will discover that mahic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. but that moment exists- a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.

Joy is sometimes a blessing, but is often a conquest. Our magic moment helps us to change and sends us off in search of our freams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disapointments---but all of this is transitory; it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken."
-Paulo Coelho
