You Will Not Know Exactly When. You Are Afraid." The Warrior Is Surprised. Both The Angel And The Devil Have Said The Same Thing. The Devil Continues: "let Me Help You."

That Is What Marks Out The Warrior: The Knowledge That Willpower And Courage Are Not The Same Thing. Courage Can Attract Fear And Adulation, But Willpower Requires Patience And Commitment.

The Only Faults Considered Grave Are The Following: Not Respecting The Rights Of One's Neighbor, Letting Oneself Be Paralyzed By Fear, Feeling Guilty, Thinking One Does Not Deserve The Good And Bad Which Occurs In Life, And Being A Coward.

Try Doing Something Different Every Day-like Talking To The Person At The Next Table To You In A Restaurant, Visiting A Hospital, Putting Your Foot In A Puddle, Listening To What Another Person Has To Say, Allowing The Energy Of Love To Flow Freely, Instead Of Putting It In A Jug And Standing It In A Corner.

It Wasn't A Dance, But The Complete Absence Of Noise And Movement, The Silence, That Brought Me In Contact With Myself.

I Free Myself From Hatred Through Forgiveness And Love.

Love And Forgiveness

Creativity Is Basically A Feminine Process. I'm Convinced That We Have In Our Soul, Everybody, This Masculine Side And This Feminine Side. So At The End Of The Day, You Always Use This Feminine Creative Energy To Write Or To Do Any Type Of Art Or Creativity. So If I See That My Protagonist Is Feminine, It's Not More Difficult, No. And Even When My Protagonist Is Masculine, I'm Writing From Using This Feminine Energy.

Man Needs What's Worst In Him In Order To Achieve What's Best In Him.

Our Time On This Earth Is Sacred, And We Should Celebrate Every Moment. The Importance Of This Has Been Completely Forgotten: Even Religious Holidays Have Been Transformed Into Opportunities To Go To The Beach Or The Park Or Skiing. There Are No More Rituals. Ordinary Actions Can No Longer Be Transformed Into Manifestations Of The Sacred. We Cook And Complain That It's A Waste Of Time, When We Should Be Pouring Our Love Into Making That Food.

Playing The Part Of A Charitable Soul Was Only For Those Who Were Afraid Of Taking A Stand In Life. It Is Always Far Easier To Have Faith In Your Own Goodness Than To Confront Others And Fight For Your Rights. It Is Always Easier To Hear An Insult And Not Retaliate Than Have The Courage To Fight Back Against Someone Stronger Than Yourself; We Can Always Say We're Not Hurt By The Stones Others Throw At Us, And It's Only At Night - When We're Alone And Our Wife Or Our Husband Or Our School Friend Is Asleep - That We Can Silently Grieve Over Our Own Cowardice.

But He Keeps His Heart Free Of Any Feelings Of Hatred.

Saying ‘no’ Does Not Always Show A Lack Of Generosity And That Saying ‘yes’ Is Not Always A Virtue

He Has Learned That It Is Best To Follow The Light.

The First Indication That We Are Killing Our Dreams Is Lack Of Time.

Maybe God Created The Desert So That Man Could Appreciate The Date Trees

But Don’t Forget That Memory Is Like Salt: The Right Amount Brings Out The Flavour In Food, Too Much Ruins It. If You Live In The Past All The Time, You’ll Find Yourself With No Present To Remember.
