The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.

Posted on April 9, 2021April 9, 2021

We all heard the famous saying, do not sweat the small stuff.  It is as true in the thirteenth century as it is today. If we concentrate on small things, the crucial things in our life get ignored.

A daughter asked her mom, “what is your secret that you and dad have been happily married for so long?”

Mom smiled and said, “The day I married your father, I decided to ignore some of his bad habits. As time passed, that list grew to pages.” 

Accepting each other shortcomings is the secret of a happy life.

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?” Rumi
