Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. - Rumi
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. - Rumi
This quote by Rumi encapsulates the journey of personal growth and self-awareness. It reflects the shift from a youthful ambition driven by intellect and a desire to impact the world externally, to a deeper understanding that true transformation begins within. The progression from "clever" to "wise" signifies a maturation process where one realizes that, while changing the world is a noble goal, lasting change starts with self-reflection and personal development. By focusing on changing oneself, one can cultivate inner peace and authenticity, ultimately influencing the world in a more meaningful and profound way.
