Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Rumi quote on love

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.  Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along. Rumi,
The Illustrated Rumi: A Treasury of Wisdom from the Poet of the Soul

Rumi's book  The Illustrated Rumi: A Treasury of Wisdom from the Poet of the Soul is a wonderful collection of his work. "The great Shaikh Jalaluddin Rumi is rightly considered the most outstanding mystic poet of all time and one of the most popular and widely read poets today. Anyone who purchases this outstanding, beautifully illustrated book will see why. It contains most of Rumi's well known stories, all with excellent translations.

This is a book anyone needing guidance through the difficulties of life will greatly appreciate." Amazon

Another book worth picking up is Rumi's Little Book Of Life: The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit , this is a wonderfully uplifting read I would recommend to anyone. "This collection of mystical poetry focuses on one of life's core issues: coming to terms with the inner life. During the course of life, each of us is engaged on an inner journey. RUMI'S LITTLE BOOK OF LIFE is a guidebook for that journey. The poetry is a companion for those who consciously enter the inner world to explore the gardens within - out of the everyday 'world of dust'- through an ascending hierarchy that restores one's soul to the heart; the heart of the spirit; and in finding spirit, transcending all." http://www.amazon.co.uk

Your life situation is mind-stuff. your life is real. Eckhart Tole mindfulness quote

Forget about your life situation and pay attention to your life.  your life situation exists in time.  Your life is now.  Your life situation is mind-stuff. your life is real. Eckhart Tole

Often we spend a lot of time worrying about events in the past or where we want to be in the future. It is good to look to future goals but not at the expense of being in the now. If we practice mindfulness we learn to enjoy the hear and now and find pleasure on a day to day basis. Your life is real and it is now, this day will not be lived again so make the most of it.

"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation. Steve Maraboli Inspirational quote

"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realise that the situation is over, you cannot move forward." Steve Maraboli

Wise words from Steve Maraboli, we sometimes do indeed need to forgive ourselves and the situation before we can move forwards. The waning moon is the best time if you need to walk away from a situation you have realised is over and you need to move forward from. Doing so at the time of the waning moon will make a difficult situation easier as you will be working with nature on your side. These things are never easy but if at least we can involve the natural forces of nature that we have to hand we can make life easier for ourselves.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take" Maya Angelou Positive Inspirational Quote

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away" Maya Angelou "Positive Inspirational Quote

What are the moments that have taken your breath away?

They don't have to be big moments. Rainbows, seeing my children laugh, the rain, the full moon, my children's tiny toes, the first snowflakes of winter. Those are a few of mine.

Remembering these moments reminds us to always practice gratitude for the things we have in life, small or big that that take our breath away.

Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Christian D Larson inspirational quote

"Talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them."

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. Melody Beattie inspirational quote

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. " Melody Beattie

This is a fabulous quote from the wonderful Melody Beattie. A wonderful reminder to practice a little gratitude in our everyday lives and unlock our happiness, it encourages us to make sense of some of the chaos that life can often throw at us. We all have chaos from time to time, deal with sadness and pain, but somehow if we can find gratitude it makes the world a better place.

 Melody Beattie has written some wonderful books. In Make Miracles in Forty Days: Turning What You Have into What You Want In Make Miracles in Forty Days Beattie now offers the ultimate distillation of what she knows about gratitude, surrender, and connecting with our essential power. She challenges us to be more present each day and details a six-week action plan, the Miracle Exercise, to jump-start transformation in our lives. After completing a series of activities, we'll establish what miracles we'd like to create, and then she'll walk us through practicing this innovative exercise alone, with a partner, and even with our children. Beattie instructs us to be thankful for everything in our lives; we need to express gratitude for what we have and who we are. It is crucial that we are grateful for recognizing what is upsetting and bothering us. Through acknowledging the pain that we're feeling, we can excise any denial or resistance that is holding us back. As we progress over the forty days, instead of feeling lost, numb, or confused, we'll become more conscious, aware, and alive. Our miracle will begin to materialize. 

Melody Beattie has also written a lovely book of meditations Journey to the Heart: Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul In the spirit of her bestselling"The Language of Letting Go", a beloved inspirational writer guides us on a sacred journey as we learn to expand our creativity, embrace our powers, and open our hearts.

“You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.

This is a fabulous quote from the wonderful Rumi. I know I have said it before but I will say it again, I love the words that Rumi says, they have such a purity and clarity to them, he uses such beautiful language but makes his point in such a simple manner. 

You were born with wings, you may not see them but they are there. Beautiful shining magickal sparkly wings. Unlock your true potential and fly, fly higher than you ever dreamed that you could. You can, you can do it, you have it within you, you were born with greatness.

Happiness cannot be owned. Gratitude quote by Denis Waitley

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. Denis Waitley

What is it that makes you happy? We all have different things that make us happy. I know for me I am happier on a day to day basis when I practice gratitude, just for the simple things that I have in my life, I often need to remind myself of things that are good and I know that when I do that my life does indeed seem sunnier. 

Happy sparkly blessings to you, Alison xx

On the nature of change. Marcus Aurelius Quote

“Observe always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones like them.” Marcus Aurelius Meditations 

The music of your life is inside you. Nido Qubein positive inspirational quote.

“Wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, whatever misfortune you may have suffered, the music of your life has not gone. It’s inside you–if you listen to it, you can play it.” — Nido Qubein

Search for the place inside yourself where anything is possible. The music has not gone, you just need to stay silent for a little while and listen, it is there if you listen hard, it is always there even though on some days it seems hard to access. This is a really uplifting quote that I find is a good one to try and remember on those darker days. The music is there and it is good to remind yourself of that on the days of stress or darkness. Stay tuned in to the music of your soul. 

This and other quotes can be found in the book 101 Motivational Quotes: With reflective questions to each quotation "Start your day off right foot, be inspired to make your day better than the day before. This delightful book features 101 powerful, thought-provoking quotes with additional reflective questions posed by the author.
