“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” ~Rumi
As the sun sets on another day, we are aware that we are imperfect beings living in an imperfect world. Each day is a new chance, a new beginning, not to be perfect, but to be better than we were before.
We should all be gentle with ourselves. After all, we are on a journey to learn, and learning takes time and has many pitfalls along the way.
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” ~ Lao Tzu
We humans may never get to enlightenment, but we can get closer every day.
Beautiful 🥰

Profound and inspiring post, Michele. So much to learn from the quotes by Rumi and Lao Tzu too. We are all here to learn and take the learnings and then leave peacefully when our time is right.
