allow friends who do not please you to gently leave your life

Why is my life and those in it so difficult?

Life is a journey we all make whether it is consciously or unconsciously. While you may feel your life is out of control or more difficult than other people’s life, you have more control and influence over your life than perhaps you realise.

See your life as a train carriage and you are the conductor who decides who comes into your carriage. Of course, when you are young, you need people to take care of you. But as you grow, you gain strength as the conductor of your life.

The choices you make today will reflect the life you enjoy or perhaps endure tomorrow. read more

Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 10

Be like a

TREE

and let the

dead leaves

DROP

Jalal al-Din Rumi

As you develop spiritually, some of the people and things in your life no longer please you. This is alright and as it should be. You have developed and your hopes and wishes have changed with you.

Allow these people to gracefully drop from your life as a dead, autumn leaf gently drops to the ground having served the tree well throughout the summer.

Part with love and all will be well.
