Manuscript Found in Accra by Paulo Coelho

Set in a time when invasion and destruction are imminent, we are spoken to of the cores and essence of life. That which truly matters to the soul and gives life meaning, and how to master those things that try to take hold of us.

Favorite takeaways:

Know and discover yourself. And in doing so, find your strength.

"If you are never alone, you cannot know yourself.
And if you do not know yourself, you will begin to fear the void.
But the void does not exist. A vast world lies hidden in our soul, waiting to be discovered. There it is, with all its strength intact, but it is so new and so powerful that we are afraid to acknowledge its existence.
The act of discovering who we are will force us to accept that we can go further than we think. And that frightens us."

Curate, evaluate, and determine the purpose before acting to create a life of true success.

"Am I trying to please others and do what they expect of me, or am I really convinced that my work is a manifestation of my soul and my enthusiasm? Do I want success at any price or do I want to be a successful person because I manage to fill my days with Love?
Because that is what real success means: enriching your life, not cramming your coffers with gold."

You’re given exactly what you need at the right time if you’re willing to open your eyes to it and take it.

"Our dream, the desire that is in our soul, did not come out of nowhere. Someone placed it there. And that Someone, who is pure love and wants only our happiness, did so only because he also gave us the tools to realize our dreams and our desires."

This life isn’t a race, it’s a journey. And each step you take builds upon the next whether it’s easy to acknowledge it at the time or later down the road.

"Only someone capable of honoring each step he takes can comprehend his own worth."
