#excerpt Everything that could have happened but did not is carried away with the wind and leaves no trace. Life is made of our attitudes. And there are certain things that the gods oblige us to live through. Their reason for this does not matter, and there is no action we can take to make them pass us by. ~The shepherd A child can always teach an adult three things: 📍To be happy for no reason 📍To always be busy with something 📍To know how to demand with all his might that which he deserves. The brave are always stubborn 📌 Tragedy is not punishment but challenge📌 From heaven, God smiles contently for it was this that He desired, that each person take into His hands the responsibility for his own life. For, in the final analysis, He had given His children the greatest of all gifts; the capacity to choose and determine THEIR ACTS (Yet he is going n absolute control) Defeat should not be accepted, and the unavoidable must be overcome 📍 #juveh #sammyjuveh #thefifthmountain https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxIMoJIQeL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#excerpt When a man journeys towards his destiny, often he is obliged to change paths. At other times, the forces around him are too powerful and he is compelled to lay aside his courage and yield. All this is part of his apprenticeship. But no one can lose sight of what he desires. Even if there are moments when he believes the world and the others are stronger. The secret is that: DO NOT SURRENDER! The widow of Zarephath says, "if someone asks a favor of me, it is because I still have some use on this earth. I'll do as he (Elijah) asks, if only to relieve his suffering. I too have known hunger, and know its power to destroy the soul." Elijah says, "everything will happen as was written by the Lord (for the Lord is still in absolute control.) However there are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason. What reason? That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there. We are most likely to misinterpreted, misrepresent, or misunderstand the lessons from the tribulations during the times we go through them📌 Elijah says, "... I have doubted myself. I am no longer worthy of my task. The Angel replied, "Every man hath the right to doubt his task and to forsake it from time to time, but what he must not do is FORGET IT. Whoever doubteth not himself is unworthy — for in his unquestioning belief in his ability, he commiteth the sin of pride. Blessed are they who go through moments of indecision. Oftentimes, a man's fate has nothing to do with what he believes or fears👌 "He high priest knew that of all the weapons of destruction that man could invent, the most terrible and the most powerful was the word. Daggers and Spears left traces of blood, arrows could be seen at a distance. Poisons were detected in the end and avoided. But the word managed to destroy without leaving clues. The best warrior however is the one who succeeds in transforming an enemy into a friend📌 #thefifthmountain #paulocoelho #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwzlH2IRgx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"What is temporary?" Asked Elijah. "The unavoidable!" The Angel said. "And what is lasting?" "The lessons of the unavoidable📌" Verily, the unavoidable happens👌 The Stoics wrote about it. Seneca called it Fortune in his book, "On the Shortness of Life." Some call it Fate; some — lot, others — predestination. But the ways of Fortune, no man sure understands. The "why" of the unavoidable, no man can decipher. The path of the unavoidable, no man can block. The unavoidable has touched the life of every human being on the face of the earth, some have rebounded, others have given up — but all of us have felt the wings of Fortune brushing against us. Written with the same masterful prose and clarity of vision that made The Alchemist an international phenomenon, The Fifth Mountain is Paulo Coelho's inspiring story of the Biblical prophet Elijah. In the ninth century B.C., the Phoenician princess Jezebel orders the execution of all the prophets who refuse to seek safety in the land of Zarephath, where the unexpectedly finds true love with a young widow. But this newfound rapture is to be cut short, and Elijah sees all of his hopes and dreams irrevocably erased as he is swept into a whirlwind of events that threatens his very existence. In what is truly a literary milestone, Coelho gives a quietly moving account of a man touched by the hand of God who must triumph over his frustrations in a soul-shattering trail of faith. This is not a book on theology hence it is not to be consulted for answers relating to Systematic Theology. It's just a work of fiction of a Brazilian writer weaving together the stories of Jezebel and Elijah in a peculiar manner📌 #juveh #sammyjuveh #thefifthmountain #paulocoelho #reviews https://www.instagram.com/p/CmgaWU7ooM_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Can God be so cruel that He would let me see the palm trees on the horizon only to have me die of thirst in the desert? It took a long time to understand that it wasn't quite like that. There are things that are brought into our lives to lead us back to the true path of our Personal Legend. Other things arise so we can apply all that we have learned. And, finally, some things come along to teach us. In my book The Pilgrimage, I tried to show that these teachings need not be linked to pain and suffering; discipline and attentiveness alone are enough. Although this understanding has become an important blessing in my life, it still did not equip me to transit certain difficult moments that I experienced, even with total discipline and attentiveness. One example is the case I have cited; I was a serious professional, made every effort to give the best there was in me, and had ideas that even today I consider worthwhile. But the unavoidable happened, at the very moment when I felt most secure and confident. I believe I am not alone in this experience; the unavoidable has touched the life of every human being on the face of the earth. Some have rebounded, others have given up–but all of us have felt the wings of tragedy brushing against us. Why? To answer this question, I let Elijah lead me through the days and nights of Akbar. ~Paulo Coelho #thefifthmountain #paulocoelho #juveh #sammyjuveh #books https://www.instagram.com/p/CmgYXcgohSC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
