Dalai Lama - Compassion towards my enemy

"The compassion we feel normally is biased and mixed with attachment. Genuine compassion flows towards all living beings, particularly your enemies. If I try to develop compassion towards my enemy, it may not benefit him directly, he may not even be aware of it. But it will immediately benefit me by calming my mind. On the other hand, if I dwell on how awful everything is, I immediately lose my peace of mind." ~ Dalai Lama

60 Life Lessons That Everyone Should Know About

1.Life is like a party. You invite a lot of people; some go, some join you, some laugh with you, some didn’t come. But in the end, after the fun, there would be a few who would clean up the mess with you. And most of the time, those were the uninvited ones.
2.Life is like an ocean. It can be calm and still or rough and rigid. But in the end it’s always beautiful.
3.Fall in love when you’re ready, not when you’re lonely.
4.The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
5.The quickest way to find love is to give love.
6.Beauty gets the attention but personality gets the heart.
7.When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
8.When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
9.If you want to live a happy life, tie yourself to your goals, not to people or things.
10.Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.
11.Cherish your youth. You will never be any younger than you are at this very moment.
12.Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using your word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
13.When humour is being used as a weapon, look closer – it’s most likely being used as a shield.
14.It is a little step and a lot of courage that marks the difference between an opportunity and a great experience.
15.Most of our everyday problems in life arise for one of two reasons: 1) We act without thinking. 2) We keep thinking without acting.
16.If you love someone, tell them. Forget about the rules or the fear of looking ridiculous. What is really ridiculous is passing up on an opportunity to tell someone that your heart is invested in them.
17.It’s not what you achieve in life that defines you; it’s what you overcome to achieve it.
18.Don’t choose the one who is beautiful to the world, choose the one who makes your world beautiful.
19.“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind ” , so give without expecting to receive in return, and always go about things with only good intentions.
20.Letting go is not forgetting, it’s remembering without fear.
21.Don’t let your ears witness what your eyes didn’t see, or let your mouth speak what your heart doesn’t feel.

23.Part of being wise is knowing what to overlook.
24.Don’t criticize anybody until you take a look in the mirror and realize all the imperfections you have.
25.Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”
26.A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

31.The only people you need in your life are the ones that need you in theirs.
32.You have to climb a mountain before you can enjoy the view.

35.Life is about creating yourself, not finding yourself.
36.Love the world, love people, love life, but most importantly, love yourself. Love who you are and what you stand for.
37.Give yourself time to be upset, it will help you heal.
38.Most of the great times you will remember are the ones when you stepped outside of your comfort zone and tried something new. Those will be the memories that you tell your grandchildren with a smile, someday.

43.The life you live is more important than the words you speak.
44.Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets.
45.Never struggle to chase love, affection, or attention. If it isn’t given freely by another person, it isn’t worth having.
46.Rejection doesn’t hurt, expectation does. Lying doesn’t destroy, denial does. Forgetfulness doesn’t heal, forgiveness does.
47.Sometimes saying yes, when you otherwise would not, can turn out beautifully.
48.Find something that you love – something that gets you so excited you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. That’s what life is all about.

55.If you change the way you look at things, all the things you look at change.
56.Whenever somebody tells you that you can’t do something, keep in mind that they are speaking from within the boundaries of their own limitations.
57.Every sixty seconds spent upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Quote by ~ Bob Marley

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

How to Raise your Vibrational Frequency!

Quote ~ Sharon Salzberg

"It doesn't matter how long we may have been stuck in a sense of our limitations. If we go into a darkened room and turn on the light, it doesn't matter if the room has been dark for a day, a week, or ten thousand years -- we turn on the light and it is illuminated. Once we control our capacity for love and happiness, the light has been turned on."
- Sharon Salzberg

Quote ~Henry Ford

‎"Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward." - Henry Ford
