benefit others as much as I can

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.

- His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama

"Life is all about perspective. Amazing thing is, we have 100% control over the angle from which we view people, things, events, and circumstances. Sometimes a minor shift of a degree or two can make all the difference. If Life is not rosy for you, question your perspective. After all, with 360 degrees in a circle, there are at least that many possible perspectives on anything. Thinking three-dimensionally, one quickly realizes that the number of possible perspectives on any one life event or circumstance is infinite and - most likely - beyond our immediate comprehension. In this Universe of infinite possibilities, the possibilities we choose become our reality. We must choose wisely."

The highest in me bows to the highest in you. May this be the happiest day of your life.

And so it is.
