Paulo Coelho Quotes

I've been really aware of how important it is to me to just stay in the moment and enjoy it while it lasts. Because that's all you've got. If it ends, I'll move on to doing something else. If it lasts, great.

What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment. I want to feel it all because I've realized nothing lasts.

For the first time in a long time, he didn't think of the past. And of all the things he'd lost. He thought only of the present, and what he had. And how it was so much more than he deserved. And he prayed then that he would never, ever lose it.

You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be, and stop measuring it against what you've lost. I know this to be wise and true, just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.

We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.

Focus on loving the life you have now in the body you’ve got!

Best to take the moment present as a present for the moment. . .

Drop the question of what tomorrow may bring, and count as profit every day that Fate allows you.

Joyful let the soul be in the present, let it disdain to trouble about what is beyond and temper bitterness with a laugh. Nothing is blessed forever.

Each moment is magical, precious and complete and will never exist again. We forget that now is the moment we are in, that the next one isn't guaranteed. And if we are blessed with another moment, any joy, creativity or wisdom it brings will ensue from the way we live in the present one.

Why wait for your ship to come in when you are already on it?

It's tremendous: this world, this life. Take it while you have it.

The life that you want begins the moment you embrace the life you have because all of it is a miracle.

In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last; then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon.

I don't want to not enjoy where I am at this very moment. So, every time I plan something the exact opposite happens. I hope that I'm always satisfied and content like I am right at this very moment.

I often stop when I'm doing something, in the middle of rehearsals or some other job, and I try to take a minute to think "Okay, this might be as good as it gets, so drink it in, appreciate it now". So far, I've been lucky because another job has always come along to equal the last.

Don't let life pass you by before you realise that it was worth living.

I take the opportunity each day offers.

Redeem thy misspent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last.

Every role is the best role you've ever got. It's the only role you have.

Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you've got.

You can be happy where you are.

When you stop comparing what is right here and now with what you wish were, you can begin to enjoy what is.

When you have things taken away, you promise you'll never take anything for granted ever again.

Nothing is worth more than this day.
