Warrior of the Light Quotes

1. behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire.
2. Of all the ways we have found to hurt ourselves, the worse has been through love. We
are always suffering because of someone who doesn't love us, or someone who has left us,
or someone who won't leave us. If we are alone, it is because no one wants us...

path
is
wrong.

been
through
all
this
before,
he
says
to
his
heart.
Yes, you have been through all this before, replies his heart. But you have never been
beyond it.
5.

Warriors of light are not perfect. Their beauty lies in accepting this fact and still desiring
to
grow
and
to
learn.

6. A Warrior knows that an angel and a devil are both competing for his sword hand.
The devil says: "You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid." The
angel says: "You will weaken. 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." And the angel says: "I will help you."
At that moment the Warrior understands the difference. The words may be the same but
these
two
allies
are
completely
different.
And
he
chooses
the
angel's
hand.
7.

He might dance down the street on his way to work, gaze into the eyes of a complete
stranger and speak of love at first sight, or defend an apparently absurd idea. Warriors of
light allow themselves days like these.

8. He is not afraid to weep over ancient sorrows or feel joy at new discoveries. When he feels
that the moment has arrived, he drops everything and goes off on some long-dreamed-of
adventure. When he realises that he can do no more, he abandons the fight, but never
blames himself for having committed a few unexpected acts of folly.
9. A warrior does not spend his days trying to play the role that others have chosen for him.
10. A Warrior of Light values a child's eyes because they are able to look at the world without
bitterness. When he wants to find out if the person beside him is worthy of his trust, he
tries
to
see
him
as
a
child
would
11. Try to live with the same intensity as a child. He doesn't ask for explanations; he dives
into each day as if it were a new adventure and, at night, sleeps tired and happy.
12. A Warrior knows that the ends do not justify the means. Because there are no ends, there
are
only
means...

next. In fact, each morning brings with it a hidden miracle, and we must pay attention to
this
miracle.
14. A Warrior of Light never resorts to trickery, but he knows how to distract his opponent.
15. Tragedy depends on the way you see it. If you chose to be a victim of the world, anything
which happens to you will feed that dark side of your soul, where you consider yourself

wronged, suffering, guilty and deserving punishment. If you choose to be an adventurer,

the changes - even the inevitable losses, since everything in this world changes - can cause
some pain, but will soon thrust you forward, forcing you to react.
16. A warrior cannot lower his head - otherwise he loses sight of the horizon of his dreams.
17. The
Warrior
of
the
Light
is
a
believer.

thoughts can change his life, his life begins to change. Because he is certain that he will
find
love,
love
appears.

the
person
you
really
are.
20. Certainly. But take this into consideration: of every ten problems we have, nine are
created by our own selves - through guilt, self-punishment, self-pity. However, from time
to time a great obstacle appears in our path, which was put there by God, and which is
there for a reason. The reason is: to give us the opportunity to change everything, to move
forwards.
21. From the moment we are born, people tell us that the world is like this and like that, this
way, that way. It is natural that - for a certain period of time - we end up believing what
we are told. But we must soon push these ideas aside and discover our own way of living
reality.
22. The same goes for envy, anger and insults - said the master. - When they are not
accepted, they continue to belong to the one who carried them.
23. That is the most common excuse, and the most foolish of all. Love has never prevented a
man from following his dreams. If she truly loves you, she will want the best for you.
24. However difficult it may be to accept what happens to us, one must understand that
moments such as this give us the possibility for radical change in our behavior.
25. After accepting love as a stimulus, a man faces the third obstacle: the fear of the defeats
he will encounter along the way. A man who fights for his dream suffers far more when
something doesnt go well, because he cannot use the famous excuse: oh, well in fact that
wasnt exactly what I wanted anyway He does want it, and knows he is putting
everything into it, and also that the Personal Legend is just as difficult as any other path the difference being that your heart is present on this journey. So, a warrior of the light
must be prepared to be patient at difficult times, and know that the Universe is conspiring
in
his
favor,
even
if
he
does
not
understand
how.
26. If he waits for the ideal moment, he will never set off; he requires a touch of madness to
take the next step. The warrior uses that touch of madness. For - in both love and war - it
is
impossible
to
foresee
everything.
27. A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the
same thing a flower in the process of expressing its potential.
28. A warrior of light respects the main teaching of the I Ching: 'To persevere is favourable.'
He knows that perseverance is not the same thing as insistence. There are
times when battles go on longer than necessary, draining him of strength and

enthusiasm.
At such moments, the warrior thinks: 'A prolonged war finally destroys the
victors
too.'
Then he withdraws his forces from the battlefield and allows himself a
respite. He perseveres in his desire, but knows he must wait for the best moment to
attack.
29. A warrior always returns to the fray. He never does so out of stubbornness,
but
because
he
has
noticed
a
change
in
the
weather.
Instead of answering your question directly I shall quote from the Indian poet Tagore: I
slept and dreamt that life was joy/ I awoke and saw that life was service/I acted and
behold, service was joy. In fact, through my work I discover life, people, and everything
which
happens
around
us.
30. However good we are, however correctly we seek to lead our lives, tragedies do occur.
We can blame others, look for justification, imagine how our lives would have been
different without them. But none of that matters: they have happened, and that is that.
From this point on, it is necessary that we review our own lives, overcome fear, and begin
the
process
of
reconstruction.
31. The Warrior of the Light knows that it is impossible to live in a state of complete
relaxation.
He has learned from the archer that, in order to shoot his arrow any distance, he must
hold the bow taut. He has learned from the stars that only an inner explosion allows them
to shine. The Warrior notices that when a horse is about to jump over a fence, it tenses all
its
muscles.
But

he

never

confuses

tension

with

anxiety.

32. If one partner gives himself completely, he breaks down the barriers of the other,
however strong they may be. Because the act of giving means: "I trust you". The other,
who to begin with may feel rather intimidated, wanting to prove things which aren't even
under discussion, is unarmed by the spontaneity of such an attitude, and relaxes. At that
moment, true sexual energy comes into play.

Hand."

the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone. Every
Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his. Every Warrior of the
Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons. Every Warrior of the Light
has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light. Every Warrior of
the Light has failed in his spiritual duties. Every Warrior of the Light has said
'yes' when he wanted to say 'no.' Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone
he loved. That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been
through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is."
(Paulo Coelho)

accept that life was an act of faith. "

others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not

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. "

"All men and all women are connected by an energy which many people call
love, but which is, in fact, the raw material from which the universe was built.
This energy can't be manipulated, it leads us gently forwards, it contains all
we have to learn in this life. It we try to make it go in the direction we want,
we end up desperate, frustrated, disillusioned, because that energy is free
and wild. We could spend the rest of our life saying that we love such a
person or thing, when the truth is that we are merely suffering because,
instead of accepting love's strength, we are trying to diminish it so that it fits
the world in which we imagine we live"

many times in my life I have tried to love with all my heart, and my love has

wound up being."
(Paulo Coelho)
"The search for happiness is more important than the need for pain."
(Paulo Coelho)

than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for."
(Paulo Coelho)
"No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into
someone's eyes."
(Paulo Coelho)
"The search for happiness is purely personal and not a model we can give to
others."
(Paulo Coelho)
"What you still need to know is this: before a dream is realized, the Soul of
the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not
because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams,
master the lessons we've learned as we've moved toward that dream. That's
the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one dies of thirst
just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon."

our feelings..."
