Van Gogh on confidence

If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

Good Reads-The Alchemist

The Alchemist is an inspiring novel by acclaimed author Paulo Coelho.  

I was so moved by this novel.  I felt my entire being uplifted and infused with the hope and faith captured within the story.

If you ever lose faith; if you ever feel lost; The Alchemist can help you find the path to the destiny that is hidden within your heart.  

"The darkest hour of the night came just before the dawn."  I chant it like a mantra whenever I struggle to go on, and I am filled with peace again.
