What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be short sighted as to not be able to see the outcome. The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.
Shams TabriziIf you want to change the way others treat you, you should first change the way you treat yourself. Unless you learn to love yourself, fully and sincerely, there is no way you can be loved. Once you achieve that stage, however, be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses.
Shams TabriziIt is never late to ask yourself โAm I ready to change my life, am I ready to change myself?โ. However old we are, whatever we went through, it is always possible to reborn. If each day is a copy of the last one, what a pity! Every breath is a chance to reborn. But to reborn into a new life, you have to die before dying.
Shams TabriziLove is a travel. All travelers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.
Shams TabriziThe universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyoneโs heart; do not look down on weaker than you. Oneโs sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer; oneโs happiness can make the entire world smile.
