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

“Consider that not only do negative thoughts and emotions destroy our experience of peace, they also undermine our health.” ~ Dalai Lama
