Paulo Coelho Quotes

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.

Look at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.

You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing.

Let us try to recognize the precious nature of each day.

Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close.

Cancer taught me to live only in the day I'm in. In the moment I'm in. Some moments, I simply ground myself by touching the desk, the table, the wall wherever I am and say, 'You're right here. Stay put in this moment.'

Each day the world is born anew for him who takes it rightly.

My daughter and I have this thing we call a PMA: 'perfect moment alert.' I try to really notice when we're having a PMA.

You just gotta use the sunset as a reset button and start over in the morning with every chance you get to open your eyes.

I always try to live in the moment.

I just try to enjoy each day.

I'd like to be the sort of person who can enjoy things at the time, instead of having to go back in my head and enjoy them.

If only, then, I had been more living out of the present--such a beautiful word...present. The sense of it being, now to me, more beautiful than 'to look forward.

Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

I try to just take in every moment of being alive.

The way to develop the habit of savoring is to pause when something is beautiful and good and catches our attention - the sound of rain, the look of the night sky - the glow in a child's eyes, or when we witness some kindness. Pause... then totally immerse in the experience of savoring it.

Wherever we are we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other and the wonder of our breathing.

Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment.

Don't worry about something going away; enjoy it while it's happening. And don't worry about something that's not even real.

Some people believe that to find happiness, you should live each day of your life as if it's your last because that way you will appreciate every single moment you have. Other people believe that you should live each day as if it's your first because then every day can be the beginning of a new journey.

You need only look at what's in front of you and find something there to appreciate.

The whole of the life -- even the hard -- is made up of the minute parts, and if I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. These are new language lessons, and I live them out. There is a way to live the big of giving thanks in all things. It is this: to give thanks in this one small thing. The moments will add up.

I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now

What you can do is embrace what you have right now and to allow it to fill the vacancies of what you didn't get yesterday.

I just take things one day at a time. I'm just thankful that I have my legs, my arms, my eyes.
