I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives. I’m not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like sex, drugs or gambling (though I’m not knocking them), but something that will bring true and lasting happiness. The kind that sticks.
The more you nurture a feeling of loving kindness, the happier and calmer you will be.
Gratitude is the most important attitude.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.
Open your arms to change but don’t let go of your values.
Happiness is the highest form of health.
To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else.
The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your action will be.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
