Feeling Quote by Paulo Coelho
““I know how you must be feeling,” she went on. ”Sometimes we set off down a path simply because we don’t believe in it. It’s easy enough. All we have to do then is prove that it isn’t the right path for us. However, when things start to happen, and the path does reveal itself to us, we become afraid of carrying on.””
