    Well this is one of the things that I enjoy reading on daily basis, and sometimes it inspires my whole day, so I thought to make a thread each now and then about it!

    One minute reading, from Paulo Coelho's Blog!

    If the Mods mind this thread which I will be doing either everyday or when I have the chance, let me know :).

    From the Prayer Book of Medieval Chivalry

    The Prayer Book of Medieval Chivalry says:

    The spiritual energy of the Path uses justice and patience to prepare your spirit.

    This is the Path of the Cavalier. An easy and at the same time a hard path, because it makes you abandon all useless things and relative friendships. That is why at first one feels very hesitant about following it.

    This is the first lesson of Chivalry: you will erase what you have written in the book of your life until now: worry, insecurity, lies.
    And instead of all this you will write the word courage.
    Beginning the journey with this word, and following with faith, you will reach the place you have to reach.

    Well I must quote this part.."you will erase what you have written in the book of your life until now: worry, insecurity, lies"

    Personally, I have a huge problem with insecurity and lies, as trusting people and believing them can be one of the toughest tasks for me!

    Sometimes it can get out of control, but sometimes again...I believe that one needs faith, and courage and no bet a new beginning to be able to move on, reach where I really want to, and feel happiness..

    Twenty Second Reading : Just like marriage

    Nasrudin spent the entire autumn working his garden. The flowers had blossomed in the spring and Nasrudin noticed a few dandelions appearing, which he hadn't planted.

    Nasrudin tore them up. But the pollen had already spread and others began to grow. He tried to find a weed killer which only killed dandelions. A specialist told him any type of poison would end up killing all the other flowers. In despair, he went to ask a gardener for help.

    - It is like a marriage said the gardener. Along with the good things, a few little inconveniences always appear.

    - What can I do?.. insisted Nasrudin.

    - Learn how to love them . Although they are flowers you did not count on, they are still part of the garden.
