{ Rumi Quote }

 Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard
Do not let pain make you hate.

Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.

Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,

you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

Even though a situation is not ideal in this moment, it's okay and I'm okay

 

{ The Secret Of Silence }

 Even when you feel happy and your day is going well, the shadow of bad things to come cannot be denied.  No one can control painful thoughts, but there is another level of the mind, where silence dominates.

If you can experience this silence, your mind begins to shift instead of being dominated by fear or guilt. 

If you remain on the path and keep experiencing inner silence and peace, you will find joy and bliss.

A person only learns to find happiness without needing nice things to happen on the outside. You find happiness by being who you really are.

 

{ Positive Thinking }

 

Positive thinking is very good, even necessary, in order to have a hopeful vision of life.

Your vision is of enlightenment, and nothing could be more positive. Having found your vision, however, you don't have to force yourself to think positively all the time. That is an artificial way to approach the mind. 

I find that if you don't force your mind, it works more naturally and with less stress.

Human nature is divided; it contains both darkness and light. You can choose to accept the darkness and wail on it, or you can choose to expand the light until the darkness no longer dominates by choosing positive thinking.

{ Child Of The Universe }

 

Take this as your first principal that you are a child of the universe. Dwell on those moments when you feel free, exhilarated or unbounded. Tell yourself that you have touched what is truly real. 

Seek love as your birthright along with bliss and creativity. Dedicate yourself to explore the unknown because your true self is the real you, and happiness is built up by making your days happy.
