“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.”
~The Dalai Lama~
Each of us is responsible for our own joy. The key to happiness is to know your value, speak with kindness and walk in the world with an awareness that transcends all outside factors. Begin the day with laughter and gratitude. Converse with the Divine in whatever way your heart calls upon you to do so.
The Now is filled with wonder and delight, providing limitless opportunities for expansion. It’s important not to sleepwalk through your life experience. Instead, create one that leaves you feeling balanced and fulfilled. True mastery comes into play when we take responsibility for our state of consciousness in the present moment, choosing love, playfulness and connection.
