“Being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.”
— Neil Gaiman
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.
-Osho
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

I feel tired always as if my eyes is asking for rest, my mind is constantly thinking,I feel completely blank as if I am dead inside, sadness is like on and off
please don’t let the darkness overcome you, because your Shams is on his way and will reach you soon.
He said, "I know that you do not speak these words by way of protest and discourtesy. So, seek refuge in Me, and fear lest your togetherness be scattered. You should know that I am perfect in power. My power has no defect. In your very clothing and veil, I will gather you together and I will give you familiarity and togetherness with each other.” (703-4)
Study me as much as you like, you will never know me, for I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself, For I have chose to dwell in a place you cannot see. ✻.ღ.*.Rumi.*.ღ.✻ ƬĤΛИҠ Y♡Ʊ F♡Ŕ ßƐĪИƓ Rumi in his eloquent words suggests us that our ‘true self’ can never be seen. Our true nature is not meant for our physical eyes, it can only be felt / seen through the eyes of the inner heart. Each human being is such an unique mystery! Because of that uniqueness Rumi says that only to see and understand someone truly we have to put ourselves behind the eyes of ‘the one’. Entering into the highly esoteric human field of 'the one’ is what enables us to mysteriously become 'you’, to become 'the friend’, to become a true lover. Its a timeless secret.
Do not feel lonely. The entire universe is inside you ✻.ღ.*.Rumi.*.ღ.✻ ƬĤΛИҠ Y♡Ʊ F♡Ŕ ßƐĪИƓ
Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you. Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon. ❤☆҉☆҉❤☆҉☆҉ ❤☆҉☆҉❤ ✻.ღ.*.Rumi.*.ღ.✻ ƬĤΛИҠ Y♡Ʊ F♡Ŕ ßƐĪИƓ
Don’t regret what’s happened. If it’s in the past, let it go. Don’t even remember it. Protect yourself from.. your own thoughts ✻.ღ.*.Rumi.*.ღ.✻ ƬĤΛИҠ Y♡Ʊ F♡Ŕ ßƐĪИƓ
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear. ✻.ღ.*.Rumi.*.ღ.✻ ƬĤΛИҠ Y♡Ʊ F♡Ŕ ßƐĪИƓ
The wound is the place where the light enters you
Life is a balance between holding on and letting go
-Rumi
when Rumi wrote, “You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens,” he was referring to breaking our heart by giving and receiving love from other people, to fully trust them, which means, if they break the trust, our heart would break. If this repeats, either with the same or different partner, we will eventually wise up by opening our heart to ourselves: by loving ourselves, by being accountable. To ourselves.
Only when we open our heart to ourselves first, we can have a healthy relationship with ourselves. Anyone who has a healthy relationship with themselves will have a healthy outlook on life and relationship with others. It’s similar to the saying, “you can’t pour from an empty cup”. Fill your cup first. Take care of yourself first. Love yourself first.
Once we love ourselves, we don’t feel the need to completely depend on others for our happiness. Sure our happiness gets affected somehow, but if they decide to betray us or leave us, instead of kicking and screaming, throwing tantrums (or shoes, or plates), we’ll peacefully let them go. I’m not saying that we won’t feel sad or angry. The uncomfortable feelings are inevitable, but when we love ourselves, we will not avoid the responsibility to take care of ourselves.
In the long run, we’ll naturally repel anyone who is not right for us
You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens
-Rumi
It means acknowledgement of facts with due respect. Acceptance is the first step towards change. Inner change happens not when you keep band-aiding your wounds- but it happens when you leave them open and let them heal. Understand that when nature requires time, you are no superhuman
Falling in love is a great way to break your heart. You have no control over the way your heart will be treated when you fall in love. You surrender to another and hope that they love you back. Make sure your love is unconditional
World with genders, create division
A life without love is of no account. Don't ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, eastern or western…divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water.

It means instead of just doing what everyone else is doing, you should be the one who decides what to do and how to do it. Be unique and make your own path instead of just following others.
