        “We need to regularly stop and take stock; to sit down and determine within ourselves which things are worth valuing and which things are not; which risks are worth the cost and which are not.  Even the most confusing or hurtful aspects of life can be made more tolerable by clear seeing and by choice.”  ~ Epictetus

              A Precious Human Life

                Every day, think as you wake up,

                Today I am fortunate to have woken up

                I am alive, I have a precious human life,

                I am not going to waste it,

                I am going to use

                All my energies to develop myself,

                To expand my heart out to others,

                To achieve enlighenment for

                The benefit of all beings,

                I am going to have kind

                Thoughts twords others,

                I am not going to get angry,

                Or think badly about others,

                I am going to benefit Others

                As much as I can.

                 

                ~ H.H. The XIV Dalai Lama

                  Let us rise up and be thankful,

                  for if we didn’t learn a lot today,

                  at least we learned a little,

                  and if we didn’t learn a little,

                  at least we didn’t get sick,

                  and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die;

                  so, let us all be thankful.
