Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 6

Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth

Trust that

 

                         Jalal al-Din Rumi

Life is for living and enjoying. We are often so intent on our challenges, we forget to enjoy the good things in our life. Observe yourself and notice what lifts the corners of your mouth. Savour this moment.

Happiness is felt in the moment. Make sure you do not miss it.

Smile at the world and the world smiles back.

Just looking at this lovely smile makes me want to smile.
