Quote by Paulo Coelho

She had just realized there were two things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surface: the fear of setting off along a road heading who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar.

She had just realized there were two things that prevent us

Summary

This quote illuminates the two factors that often hinder us from pursuing our dreams. Firstly, the belief that our dreams are impossible stops us from even attempting to achieve them. Secondly, the sudden realization that our dreams can, in fact, become reality can also provoke fear. This fear stems from the uncertainty of embarking on a new path, the challenges it may bring, and the potential loss of what is familiar. By acknowledging and overcoming these fears, we can truly pursue our dreams and create a fulfilling life.
