151. The Valkyries, Paulo Coelho

"We are responsible for everything that happens in this world. We are the warriors of the light. With the strength of our love and of our will, we can change our destiny, as well as the destiny of many others.

The day will come when the problem of hunger can be solved through the miracle of the multiplication of the bread. The day will come when love will be accepted by every heart, and the most terrible of the human experience, solitude, which is worse than hunger, will be banned from the face of the eart. The day will come when those who knock at the gates will see them open, those who ask will receive, those who weep will be consoled.

For the planet Earth, the day is still a long way off. But for each of us, that day can be tomorrow. One has only to accept a simple fact: Love - of God and of others - shows us the way. Our defects, our dangerous depths, our suppressed hatreds, our moments of weakness and desperation - all are unimportant. If what we want to do is heal ourselve first, so that then we can go in search of our dreams, we will never reach paradise. If, on the other hand, we accept all that is wrong about us, and despite it, believe that we are deserving of a happy life, then we will have trown open an immense window that will allow Love to enter. Little by little, our defects will dissapear, because one who is happy can look at the world only with love - the force that regenerates everything that exist in the universe "
