Fear and Desire

The warrior of light studies the two columns on either side of the door he is trying to open.

One is called Fear and the other is called Desire.

 

The warrior looks at the column of Fear and on it is written:

“You are entering a dangerous, unfamiliar world where everything you have learned up until now will prove useless”

 

The warrior looks at the column of Desire and on it is written:

“You are about to leave a familiar world wherein are stored all the things you ever wanted and for which you struggled long and hard”

 

The warrior smiles because nothing frightens him and nothing holds him. With the confidence of one who knows what he wants, he opens the door.

 

-Paulo Coelho, Manual of the Warrior of Light
