Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.

Jalaluddin Rumi
About This Quote

A story is something that has happened in the past. History is something that happened in the past. Myth is the story of the future. By creating your own myth, you are telling your future.

You are creating stories that people can believe in, follow and share with others. Your own myth might involve futuristic technology or a high-tech startup company you want to create. Your myth will be something that brings you joy and excitement, but also inspires others to do the same.
