Paulo Coelho

It's not my story anymore: 
whenever I speak about the past now, 
I feel as if I were talking about something that has nothing to do with me. 
All that remains in the present are the voice, 
the presence, 
and the importance of fulfilling my mission. 
I don't regret difficulties I experienced; 
I think they helped me to become the person I am today, 
I feel the way a warrior must feel after years of training; 
he doesn't remember the details of everything he learned, 
but he knows how to strike when the time is right.
