Here’s what freedom means to Persian poet and philosopher Rumi (1207-1273). What do you think?

Two Inspirational Quotes

There are several defining moments in life. When we reflect upon what is most important in our lives – it always comes down to relationships. Sharing two quotes by Persian poet and mystic Rumi (1207-1273) that struck me and a photo of two love birds. I wonder where they will fly off to next.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”

Keep Hiking

For the times you just want to get off that mountain. Keep moving forward. You’re on your way to great things! Believe in yourself! Believe in your journey. If you keep moving there will always be others God places to assist along the way. It may not always be obvious what path to take but no path to greatness is simple or easy. Fight through it.

What are you chasing after?

Chasing after power is like chasing after the wind. You’ll always end up empty handed. Chase after love. Love lasts beyond power, titles, fame, and fortune. So what do you love and who do you love? Chase after the relationships that matter. Ultimate success is luxury of time to do what you truly want to do and live with who you truly want to live.
