 Welcome to the Quote of the Week ~ Your weekly State-of-the-Art Life Enhancement in easy to digest bite-sized pieces.   This week's quote by Rumi reminds us that we are not meant to crawl through life, but to use our wings to soar above obstacles and limitations and fly towards our aspirations.

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. 

You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. 

You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. 

You have wings. Learn to use them and fly. Rumi
