Meirion Jones of Illustrated Coaching and Michael Millward discuss a quotation from Rumi the 12th Century Sufi poet. They look at how the quotation and Rumi’s wider work encourages people to accept that change is an opportunity for renewal and reinvention and how by embracing challenges and turning adverse situations into learning opportunities they can probably achieve more. They identify through a discussion of their own experiences how this approach can have a positive impact on mental health.
