Emotion

When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways--either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it's not fixable, then there is no help in worrying.
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
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.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.
I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

If all you desired is what your soul desired, everything would be very simple. If you listened to the part of you which is pure spirit, all of your decisions would be easy, and all the outcomes joyous.
It's one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.
