My friend told me to read this quote by Dalai Lama. Now became one of my favorite quotes:
“When asked “What thing about humanity surprises you the most?”, the Dalai Lama answered:
“Man…. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
Dalai Lama XIV
DAY 28
Meditate on a Buddhist Mantra
Life is short.
Time is fleeting.
Uncover the truth.
Purify the mind and heart
to attain happiness.
Be kind, be compassionate
Be generous, do good.
Concentrate.
Understand.
Awaken.

Sometimes you just need to hear some words (maybe from the person you least expect) to set you back on the right direction. No more negativity. I’m running out of time for it.

Keeping a journal is a great way to record the fleeting moments that make life sweet but that so easily vanish from memory. -Elizabeth Gilbert
Just try a one sentence journal or at the end of the day write down your happiest moment of that day. It’ll be a little surprise for yourself you could have lost but saved!
I don’t know why I stressed so much trying to be the best, it’s not going to happen even if for per chance it does, how long do you think it’ll last?
I have devised an alternate game plan. You can’t be the best, only the best you can be.
Now to figure out how..
“Peace of mind cannot be found without forgiveness. Forgive your failures and learn from them. Without self-forgiveness, we are trapped in the pain of our past. Without forgiveness of others, we are trapped in the pain of their mistakes. The past is the past and cannot be changed no matter how hard we try. The future is far more malleable.”
-David Stein
“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” -Charles Dederich, Sr.
