Unfold your own myth

Do not be satisfied with stories,

how things have gone with others.

Unfold your own myth.

by Jalal id-din Rumi

The world is constantly sending us messages,

imprinting us with data that tells us

how life should be, what life is about.

What we witness shapes our belief patterns

that tell us who we are, who we should be,

and what is possible for us in this lifetime.

But the outer reality

as witnessed with human senses and perceptions

can never give you a view of the

limitless possibilities that are available for you.

Keep your mind open. Keep your heart open.

Be a witness in your own life,

yet show up and play with all your heart,

and watch as the game unfolds.

You are a reflection of Divine Light,

an expression of Divine Love,

a manifestation of Divine Beauty.

What unfolds from you has not yet been defined.

Do not limit it by what you think you know.

Let it flow from you like the breath

of the Essence of the One.
