Sometimes even if you say the truth no one will listen, because they want to hear it from someone else.

But don’t be like that, adhere and follow truth wherever it is; honor love wherever it is.

الناس معادن كمعادن الفضة والذهب. خيارهم في الجاهلية خيارهم في الإسلام إذا فقهوا. والأرواح جنود مجندة، فما تعارف منها ائتلف وما تناكر منها اختلف.
People are like minerals— just like minerals of gold and silver. Those who were best among them before the advent of Islam would continue to be best among them after Islam, if they develop a thorough understanding; and [before coming into this world] the souls were like enlisted troops, those that were well acquainted with each other [before coming into this world] are harmonious with each other [in this world also] and those that were at variance with each other [before coming into this world] would have differences among them [in this world too]. | Prophet Muhammad (saw), Muslim (via zuleikha)

Adam has two existences—the first and the second. The first existence belongs to this world, not to paradise, and the second belongs to paradise.

“O Adam, come out of paradise and go into this world. Lose your crown, belt, and cap in the way of love! Put up with pain and affliction. Then tomorrow, We will bring you back to this precious homeland and this domicile of subsistence, with a hundred thousand robes of gentleness and every sort of honor, as the leader of the witnesses and in the presence of the one-hundred-twenty and some thousand prophets, the possessors of purity and the sources of chosenness. Then the creatures will come to know that, just as We can bring Adam’s form out of paradise through the attribute of severity, so also We can bring him back through the attribute of gentleness.”

Tomorrow, Adam will go into paradise with his children. A cry will rise up from all the particles of paradise because of the crowding. The angels of the World of Sovereignty will look with wonder and say, “Is this that same man who moved out of paradise a few days ago in poverty and indigence?”

Shaykh Ahmad Sam’ani
Outwardly, humans are derived from this world. Inwardly, they are its origin.
Mawlana Rumi
The most perfect of men in intellect is the best of them in character.
Imam Jaʿfar ibn Muhammad al-Sādiq (AS)

I don’t even know how to deal with my insomnia anymore, other than moving somewhere else.

I got owned in soccer tonight by a man thirty years older than me, a man who spent 5 recent years of his life as a political prisoner, and a man who I hope to become good friends with. 

Blessed are all those who come into our lives.

Myths are more real than what convention calls “reality.” They are always alive and sometimes, they break through into our world. 

What I mean is something else. 

Sometimes, you live with such intensity that you yourself become a myth. You become a symbol of everything you stand for, and for a moment, the world becomes mythic for the rest of us. 

Become the myth, become the symbol, prove that human potential knows no limit. 

It is what you were born for…
