Good Morning my friends! For today I found myself going back to quotes from Rumi. I know a while back I had shared some of his, so now is the other part. There are just so many from him that are too good not to share. I hope you find they touch your soul like they did mine. As always Thanks for reading and I love hearing which ones you found especially meaningful.
1. “Set your life on fire and seek those who fan your flames.”
2. “Sometimes the cure for pain is in the pain.”
3. “Look past your thoughts to enjoy the pure nectar of the moment.”
4.”Do not worry that your life may be turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come.”
5.”The Lion is most handsome when looking for food.”
6.”You wander from room to room hunting for the diamond necklace that is already around your neck.”
7. “Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.”( With the time of year it is this was appropriate, but off course the message is deeper.)
8.”There is a voice that doesn’t use words, listen.”
I have to pick number 6 for today. I feel like the pursuit for happiness is exactly like that. π

There are some quotes I debate about using but number 2 I knew I had to use. Have you read the Hunger Games books? Number one made me think of that π

An excellent selection for today’s thoughts! #4 is definitely speaking to me today. Sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of the goal once you start the journey. Good reminder π
