I recently just finished reading this book by my favorite author, Paulo Coelho. Here are a few of my favorite quotes, relating to the subject matter of not living out your dreams:
"She looked around her. People were walking along, heads down, hurrying off to work, to school, to the employment agency, telling themselves: "I can wait a little longer. I have a dream, but there's no need to realize it today, besides, I need to earn some money." It was all a question of selling her time, like everyone else. Doing things she didn't want to to, like everyone else. Putting up with horrible people, like everyone else. Handing over her precious soul in the name of a future that never arrived, like everyone else. Saying that she still didn't have enough...waiting just a little bit longer...so that she could earn just a little bit more, postponing the realization of her dreams, she was too busy right now..."
"Life is too short, or too long, to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly."
