Life Lessons Quote by Sherri L. Smith — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The great Sufi poet and philosopher Rumi once advised his students to write down the three things they most wanted in life. If any item on the list clashes with any other item, Rumi warned, you are destined for unhappiness. Better to live a life of single-pointed focus, he taught. But what about the benefits of living harmoniously among extremes? What if you could somehow create an expansive enough life that you could synchronize seemingly incongruous opposites into a worldview that excludes nothing?”

“There comes a time when something changes you... No matter the impact... Where the world no longer beats in time with you. You no longer feel amongst the fray.. And the feeling of loneliness is a brandished armor you wear the rest of your life.”

“Evaluate your ways, and if you are going astray, pray. Ask God to show you the right way.”

“1. Do what you say you're gonna do”

“A problem shared, is a problem halved.”

“passive consumption vs. active creation.”
