Paulo coelho the hippie6/3/2023 I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.Ī lot of people feel intimidated by me. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Travel, archery, writing and reading don’t cost a lot. I could afford my greatest pleasures even when I wasn’t wealthy. It’s nice to be able to wear a very good coat in the Geneva winter, but I feel I’ve always been rich. I don’t tend to go back to the past and, although I have an apartment there, I rarely visit. My blood and my way of thinking is Brazilian, but that’s it. My connection with Brazil is so abstract. It’s so intimate I can’t even share it with my wife. If I talk about the book or name the title out loud before finishing, I feel the energy I need to write will be drained. I’ve asked doctors if it’s possible – the answer is always no, but I know what I saw that day. Someone entered the room, and I said to myself: “This is my grandmother.” Nobody believes me. I discovered very early in life that the best way for me to communicate is through my writing, but it took me years to realise that it’s what I needed to do full time. It’s part of the human condition to want to share things – thoughts, ideas, opinions. The Brazilian-born writer on wealth, travel and having coffee with strangers
