As I read through these quotes, it triggered additional thoughts within me. Thank you for unlocking that door. Ironically one of my thoughts was, “The greatest diamonds you seek, are small in comparison to the diamonds already within you.” May your diamonds continue to shine brightly in the realm of service you are giving others. Namaste.

My favorite Rumi quote is:
“Don’t sit and wait. Get out there, feel life. Touch the sun and immerse in the sea.”
This is such a strong meaningful quote for me and I am so honored to have found the great Rumi.

My grandson is named Rumi. He is 2 1/2 years old. At 18 months he was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) which is an alternation in the genes that control messages from the brain to his muscles controlling walking. On March 15, 2020, my son and a few of his friends are participating in a run in NYC for a “Cure for SMA”. I read through your quotes and we will use this one as we try to raise funds to help children who have SMA. “Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.” Thank you for your posting of these quotes. Thank you.

I am a sensitive person and am becoming very tired of criticism.
Reading these quotes is uplifting and helping me see there is positivity around me…i just need to find a way to move towards it and live in that space every day.
