"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. "
-Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

I came across a Goalcast article of 55 Rumi Quotes. One of the things I really want to explore this year is my spirituality. I want to continue challenging myself and inwardly working on refining me. The above quote is so true! Love will race toward you when there is no barriers in place to impede its arrival. The opposite of love is fear. I have embraced fear too long in my life. By creating barriers and entertaining fear, I have squeezed love out of my life by denying it space.
*note: The intention to travel this road last year was sincere. Fear crept in and I entertained it. Not this year! Please join me every weekend to spend a bit of time ruminating with Rumi.
