Those who know Light in the world are those, who know Guides of mankind are those, who know When looking for the road to God And Prophet, ask from those, who know The alchemist in his research Finds sympathy from those, who know A desert stone will turn to gold In company with those, who know Those are not humans, only shells The empty ones, who do not know (Rehman Baba)
Believe in yourself • “Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” Rumi • “Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's important to me is my opinion of myself.” Anonymous
