MY QUOTE FOR DAY 2
“If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished.”
-Rumi
MY TAKE ON THE QUOTE
All the life struggles and encounters are just a way of being – to “polish” you into elegant and magnificent “diamond!” Not every battle is a bane, sometimes adversities help you “arise” to your real purpose and importance to create a better, exceptional, wiser and superior YOU. Remember, had it not been for those “rubs and cuts” – you wouldn’t have been the “star” that you are today. Thank God for theย endeavors that you went up against, cause no one can now hinder your sheen!
Smoothing out the edges, buffing up the corners, scrubbing away the apprehensions, glossing the brightness within – Yes, you indeed are a “diamond-in-making!” *shine on*

I love Rumi and have for years! Funny that you should pick this quote today. I was just wondering where I heard of Rumi from orginally? I do not remember how I came across the poetry.
