You learn a lot about people when you're struggling. There are the ones who see you in the dark, and walk through the door anyway, with a candle lit, the ones who turn on an extra light of their own, knowing some will shine your way, and then there are the those who turn all their lights off and pretend not to be home.

Happiness is often associated with romantic love. I don't think that's right. Happiness is an early morning walk. Happiness is when the food in front of you makes your mouth water.

A kind woman was once asked, “How can you be so gentle in a world that is so harsh?” She smiled and, pointing to her heart, she said, “When you are strong on the inside, you can afford to be soft on the outside, for there is no need to prove what already exists within.”

Sufism is Not a Religion or a Philosophy, it is Neither Deism Nor Atheism, Nor is it a Moral, Nor a Special Kind of Mysticism, Being Free From The Usual Religious Sectarianism. If Ever it Could Be Called a Religion, it Would only Be as a Religion of Love, Harmony, & Beauty.❤

We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing?
