The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

-- Jelaluddin Rumi,

True Success

The spiritual secret is this:  What you seek, you already are.  True success is discovering your inner divinity-its the ability to love and have compassion, trust your intuition, and awaken to your unlimited creative nature- Deepak Chopra

Every day I am working to be truly successful...
