“Every day, think as you wake up:
‘Today I am fortunate to be 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 enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. 
I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, 
I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. 
I am going to benefit others as much as I can.'” ~ Dalai Lama
