I consider myself to be just one among 7 billion human beings. If I were to think of myself as different from others, or as something special, it would create a barrier between us. What makes us the same is that we all want to lead happy lives and gather friends around us. And friendship is based on trust, honesty and openness.

Dalai Lama
Image
It seems to me that self confidence and the ability to stand one's ground are essential if we want to succeed in life. I am not talking of stupid self-assurance but of an awareness of our inner potential, a certainty that we can always correct our behavior, improve ourselves, enrich ourselves, and that things are never hopeless

Moving towards better rather than moving away from bad is an attitude of embracing life rather than rejecting it.
Dalai Lama
Image
Affection is important because it counters anger, hatred and suspicion that can prevent our minds from functioning clearly.
Dalai Lama

It is in everybody's interest to seek those [actions] that lead to happiness and avoid those which lead to suffering. And because our interests are inextricably linked, we are compelled to accept ethics as the indispensable interface between my desire to be happy and yours.
Dalai Lama

As you breathe in, cherish yourself. As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.
