Paulo Coelho Quote

There are four obstacles.First: we are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible.The second obstacle: love. We know what we want to do, but are afraid of hurting those around us by abandoning everything in order to pursue our dream.The third obstacle: fear of the defeats we will meet on the path.The fourth obstacle: the fear of realizing the dream for which we fought all our lives.
