  • Running 🏃‍♂️ on Fumes

    Probably one of the few episodes where the title of the podcast does not get mentioned in the podcast 😆 HOWEVER this episode was recorded during a time in my life when all belief is gone and all I am left with is fumes of faith. 

    I know how tough it can be (for a lack of a better word) to go through the darkest time of your life. And to be honest, all you have is your choice not to give up. So don't. Things change. How do I know? Because they have always changed with a staggering success rate of 100%...because you are still here.

  • Guest House - Rumi ❤️

    Translated by Coleman Barks

    This being human is a guest house.

    Every morning a new arrival.

    A joy, a depression, a meanness,

    some momentary awareness comes
    as an unexpected visitor.

    Welcome and entertain them all!

    Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
    who violently sweep your house
    empty of its furniture,
    still, treat each guest honorably.
    He may be clearing you out
    for some new delight.

    The dark thought, the shame, the malice,

    meet them at the door laughing,
    and invite them in.

    Be grateful for whoever comes,

    because each has been sent
    as a guide from beyond.

    Jalaluddin Rumi
