    “Callan sucked in a breath. As a sniper, he’d been trained by the Marines to know and recognize moments. 

    Moments when all the training—his focused mind, muscle memory, weapon knowledge . . . 

    When all the preparation—target reconnaissance, angle of attack, position scouting . . . 

    When all the setup—hidden amid the terrain, barrel aimed, trajectory known . . . 

    When everything came together in one crucial moment—when the sniper squeezed the trigger and took his shot.”

    Paulo Coelho
    “Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won’t suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back – and at some point everyone looks back – she will hear her heart saying, “What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage; the certainty that you wasted your life.”
    ― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
