Sometimes You Get No Second Chance | Excerpt From “Eleven Minutes”
There are people who bring in you light and love… there are others who bring in you an inescapable magnetism … I couldn’t see it as a book that talks about a prostitute but as a book that goes beyond, a book that talks about a woman who search more, the life that was offered to her wasn’t enough, the knowledge that she had wasn’t enough, the love that she get wasn’t enough…she was in search for unconditional freedom, but even after the search and suffering she returned to Love. Yet another book by Paulo Coelho that deserves more than five stars. In the following excerpt from ” Eleven Minutes ” Paulo demystifies something about the journey and the learning. Read that out to know and resonate with yourself !
Sometimes You Get No Second Chance | Excerpt From “Eleven Minutes”
“I’ve realized that sometimes you get no second chance and that it’s best to accept the gifts the world offers you. Of course it’s risky, but is the risk any greater than the chance of the bus that took forty-eight hours to bring me here having an accident? If I must be faithful to someone or something, then I have, first of all, to be faithful to myself. If I’m looking for true love, I first have to get the mediocre loves out of my system. The little experience of life I’ve had has taught me that no one owns anything, that everything is an illusion – and that applies to material as well as spiritual things. Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever (as has happened often enough tome already) finally comes to realize that nothing really belongs to them.
And if nothing belongs to me, then there’s no point wasting my time looking after things that aren’t mine; it’s best to live as if today were the first (or last) day of my life.”
