“A warrior of light often feels he is living two lives at once. In one, he is obliged to do all that he does not want to do, and to fight for ideas in which he does not believe. But there is another life, and he discovers it in his dreams, in his books, and in his encounters with people who think like him.
The warrior allows his two lives to draw closer. ‘There is a bridge that connects what I do with what I would like to do,’ he thinks. Gradually, his dreams take over his everyday life, until he realizes that he is ready for the thing he always wanted.
Then, all it takes is a little touch of daring, and the two lives become one.”
— Paulo Coelho, Manual of the Warrior of Light
