35 Life Changing Lessons to Learn from Hafiz of Persia

There are people who walk this planet with so much grace, ease, love, and gratitude. Kissing the earth with their feet, and pouring so much love into all that they say and do. And in my humble opinion, the great Hafiz of Persia was one of those people. His words are music to your ears, filling your mind and heart with so much beauty, grace, and divine power. Transforming your life, and changing the way you look at yourself and the world around you.

I am in love with his work, and because there are so many valuable lessons we can all learn from this amazing man, I decided to collect some of his most inspiring quotes and compiled as:
