About This Quote
The peace within you is stronger than any storm. This quote comes from the book, “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. In this book, the main character meets a monk who tells him that we can harness our negative emotions and use them to create something of great value. The monk says, “The peace within you is stronger than any storm.
What does the dark night bring? The nights bring stars, ships and sailors.” According to Coelho, we can find peace in life’s most difficult times by giving into our darker side and using it for good. Instead of fighting against a problem, we must learn to embrace it and use it for something positive. We can even take an old negative memory and turn it into a positive one.
