In search of some wise and inspiring words to live by you can never go wrong with the 13th-century Persian poet, scolar, and Sufi mystic Rumi:

“Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.”

“Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames”

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and right-doing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
