You Have to Keep Breaking Your Heart Until It Opens

The above quote came from Rumi, a 13th Century Persian poet, a Sufi mystic, who is also one of the most popular poets and ‘best-selling poet’ in the United States. While the quote can easily be interpreted differently, the meaning that I’ve understood so far is that, in the end, when our heart is broken, again and again, we’ll reach to a point where we end up opening our heart… to ourselves.
