Paulo Coelho

Heres an insert from Paulo Coelho's blog today. Lately I have been feeling like a warrior, with a lot of opposition and perhaps not as much support as I would hope for.

The warriors of light always keeps their hearts clean of feelings of hatred.

When they go to fight, they always remembers Christ’s words: “love your enemies”.

And the warriors obey.

But they know that the act of forgiving foes does not force them to accept everything.

Warrior cannot lower their heads – otherwise they lose sight of the horizon of their dreams.

The warrior notes that the adversaries are there to test our persistence, our ability to make decisions.
Adversaries are a blessing – because they force he warriors of light to fight for their dreams.

It is the experience of combat which strengthens our will .
