Today I would like to share with you 25 beautiful life changing lessons to learn
from Khalil Gibran. Author of one of my favorite books of all time, The Prophet.
Enjoy.
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but
manifestations of strength and resolution.
pleasures. For in the dew of little things the hear t finds its morning and is
refreshed.
And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you wor thy, directs your
course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens
dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a
moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each others cup but drink not
from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing
and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the
strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hear ts,
but not into each others keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hear ts.
And stand together, yet not too near together : For the pillars of the temple stand
apar t, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow.
18. If you pray when it rains, make sure you also pray
when the sun shines.
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in
the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
21. Your children are not your children. They are sons
and daughters of Lifes longing for itself.
Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of Lifes
longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with
you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for
their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your
dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
23. Be thankful for both the good and the bad in your
life. Its all meant to teach you something.
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and
kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
When you are joyous, look deep into your hear t and you shall find it is only
that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look
again in your hear t, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which
has been your delight.
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is
not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing
through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
