A Precious Human Life

Everyday, think as you wake up,

today I am fortunate to have woken up.

I am 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 of others.

I am going to benefit others

as much as i can.

- His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

...just had to share. it's too good not to. this should be a daily mantra to all.
