Paulo CoelhoBecause it seemed too simple to accept that life was an act of faith.
About This Quote
This quote reflects on the idea that life is actually a stage where one plays the role of an actor. The idea that life is an act of faith is derived from the fact that you are playing a role in this play. You are not simply living, you are acting. Your role consists of participating in your life and not criticizing what is happening to you.
You must allow yourself to be the person that you are and stay true to that identity, even if it’s not what you really want. It is said that we all do what we do because we believe it is the best way for us to live.
