If you pay close attention to each day, you will discover the magic moment.
Passion. It can be used to describe the beauty of an earth-shaking meeting between two people, but it isn't just that. It's there in the excitement of the unexpected, in the desire to do something with real fervour, in the certainty that one is going to realise a dream. Passion sends us signals that guide us through our lives.
There is a huge difference between danger and fear.
A warrior of light needs both patience and speed. He treats each situation as if it were unique.
The search can be as interesting as the fear you feel, as long as you overcome that fear.
When we have great treasures before us, we can never see them.
Before there was a proper understanding and a sense of God's presence, the idea that everything would one day end was utterly desolating.
The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
The warrior of Light perseveres in his desire, but knows he must wait for the best moment.
In reality things reveal nothing to us. It is people who, by looking into at things, discover a way of penetrating the Soul of the World.
The pain barrier was not a barrier for her; she could go beyond it.
The warrior of light plunges unhesitatingly into the river of passions always flowing through his life.
The great virtue of those who seek the spiritual path is courage.
Emotions are wild horses.
