Shams Tabriz inspired Rumi, and Rumi inspired millions and continues to inspire long after his death. Who will you inspire? You are never too old to do that. As a grandparent, you can inspire your grandchildren with your unconditional love. Unconditional love gives grandchildren security and esteem. For older people who feel aimless or that they cannot be of help, they can still provide this powerful inspiration to their grandchildren. By so doing, they bring purpose back to their life.
For an awakened person, one day can be like eternity. Every second counts and you have 86,400 seconds in a day. The past is irrelevant and the future is unknown. Today is what matters. By living your best day ever today, you make your past a good dream and your future becomes full of hope and confidence.
The world is waiting for you to shine your light. What are you waiting for?
