BRIDA: Paulo Coelho

This book, BRIDA has taught me about life like no book or any person ever did. There is the main character Brida as the title of the book suggests. Now, if you have any interest in magical world or you are a little bit interested in magic fantasy, you are prone to think that that the book has things about magic. Well, sorry to say but that's the beauty of Paulo Coelho books. This is one of those books that you want to and need to read alone and think a lot about.

In this blog, I'll tell you what Brida taught me.

Lesson 1: anything and everything that you think you need to do will come to you. All you have to do is have patience, wait for the right time to come. Every beautiful moment, every lesson, every practice may not work right now but it’ll pay you when the time is right.

Lesson 2: there is a power out there listening to your vibrations, so, watch your words. It doesn't need you to have great power, you must learn to choose the right words in every situation. This is something that almost everybody teaches the child but in the ups and downs of life, we tend to be more negative speakers than we think we have become. Our subconscious reacts the way we send our vibrations. So, check the negative words even in thoughts.

Lesson 3: if you have heard about reincarnation and soul taking up different bodies. Then you might have thought about the growing population and a limited number of souls. Well, this book almost answers my question. The souls divide in each life losing their powers slowly. The souls twin and take different bodies and after taking birth in a physical body, the search of the soulmate begins.

Lesson 4: when you love someone you let them grow, with or without you. The famous saying by Buddha “when you like a flower, you pluck it and when you love a flower you water it to grow more.” It may take a lot of courage to let go of someone you love but when you let them grow your love grows too.

Lesson 5:  Be courageous enough to let go. When you learn to let go, you become peaceful inside and that is what matters most.

Lesson 6: In life, you get what is here for, no matter what you want to do or what others want you to do, our purpose will make us do what we are here for.

Lesson 7: in life, you should not be afraid, when we are afraid to do something or not being able to do something that is when we stop living. So DO NOT be afraid and live freely.

Lesson 8: Take risks in life, risk makes us experience a lot of things that help us grow too.

Lesson 9: have desires in life, expectations are something that has a question mark most of the time and having too many expectations can hurt our peace and balance in a great way. Desires make us do the right thing in the right direction to achieve it.

Lesson 10: nothing in life that comes across us is wrong. learn this thing as fast as you can, everything that happens to us has a specific purpose and these are the things that make life interesting and fruitful.
