Good Thoughts

I love this:

"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 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.'"

 

- His Holiness The Dalai Lama

 

I don't think I achieve this as frequently as I should.
