“Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form.” — Rumi
Wisdom Behind:
We often lose a job, a loved one or simply we lose ourselves somewhere in the process of learning the meaning of life. This creates a shell around us and makes our heart full of grieve and sorrow. This let us see the ray of hope. By being overwhelmed we just ignore all the other blessings in our life. If God has taken something it surely will be replaced by something more powerful.

Sometimes you have to look within instead of looking around you. A lot of times all of us under estimate ourselves. We don’t rely on ourselves and forget our potential. Human brain has 100,000 chemical reactions going on every second. Yes that’s how amazing you are!
“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” — Rumi
Wisdom behind:
I believe if we start pondering over this one daily we would make our lives so much easier and merrier. Don’t blind fold yourself. Why do you need to see the world from other people’s eyes? Look from your own eyes and hear from your own ears. Wisdom comes from life experiences. So step out & find the truth. You can’t relate to another ones story until and unless you have lived it yourself.
“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.” — Rumi
Wisdom Behind:
Stop living to impress others. Don’t try to be someone that you are not. You are not here to be a puppet or be in the rat race. Unfold your personality and live your life to your full potential.
This world is not for the people who get afraid. What people will think is their business. Your work is the betterment of yourself. Take charge of your life. Be the experiment. Learn that dance, your heart aches for. You are a work in progress.
