Good morning all my friends and followers
Here is a Sufi story for you.

I often wonder why our emotions come and change so much. Like the weather in Melbourne. Have you? Listen what Rumi says:

The Guest House

A disciple once asked Rumi,

“Master, why do I feel so many emotions—joy one day, heaviness the next, longing the next? Why can’t the heart stay still?”

Rumi replied,
“Because the heart is a guest house. Each morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness… some unexpected visitor.
Welcome them all. Even if they are a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house empty—still, treat each guest honorably.
They may be clearing you out for some new delight.”

Reflection:
Sufis teach that our emotions aren’t mistakes—they are messages. When you stop fighting what arrives in you, the heart becomes a gentler place to live. And you will be happier.

Happiness is not a destination but a direction.

How you travel and whom you travel with is what really counts.

It means that happiness is a state of being and the byproduct of the way you live and think.

It is something which is created minute by minute.

It’s a not a thing.

It’s a process.

Sort out your mind; and you will be happy.

The worst decisions in life are made when you allow your head to talk you into something when your gut already said no.

Rule for life: Never let your head outsmart your gut. - Sahil Bloom
