Macau 2010: The warrior of light is a believer ..

The warrior of light is a believer.

Because he believes in miracles, miracles begin to happen. Because he is sure that his thoughts can change his life, his life begins to change. Because he is certain that he will find love, that love appears.

Now and then he is disappointed. Sometimes he gets hurt.

Then he hears people say ‘He is so ingenuous

But the warrior knows that it is worth it. For every defeat, he has two victories in his favour.

All believers know this.

From the Manual of Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho. A really hard campaign (and here) for me in many ways, but I know we believed when it counted most - it was a matter of 'remembering and honouring', and 'letting go' at the same time .

  2. I made sure putlocker to watch this movie in the theaters the week it came out. To this day in July 2015 it is still one of the most powerful moving movies that I have ever seen. It is about fighting no matter the odds and not giving up with some great MMA scenes thrown in as well. I was very impressed as well watching the extras and I learned a lot about one of the backers of the movie who sadly passed away before the movie was released but you should watch yidio movies the extra scenes it is worth it. Oh and watch the movie!!
