Dalai Lama XIV
“Within all beings there is the seed of perfection. However, compassion is required in order to activate that seed which is inherent in our hearts and minds....”
Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living

“If you can change the way you think in time you will notice a change in your heart and also a change in your life and the way you see things.”
The Prolific Penman, Real Expression's of Words Never Heard The Poet, The Man, The Idea

Dalai Lama XIV
“I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. From the moment of birth, every human being wants happiness and does not want suffering. Neither social conditioning nor education nor ideology affects this. From the very core of our being, we simply desire contentment. I don’t know whether the universe, with its countless galaxies, stars, and planets, has a deeper meaning or not, but—at the very least—it is clear that we humans who live on this earth face the task of making a happy life for ourselves. Therefore, it is important to discover what will bring about the greatest degree of happiness.”
Dalai Lama XIV, In My Own Words: An Introduction to My Teachings and Philosophy

Steve Maraboli
“Be more than a father, be a dad. Be more than a figure, be an example.”
Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Dalai Lama XIV
“Some people think that cultivating compassion is good for others but not necessarily for themselves, but this is wrong. You are the one who benefits most directly since compassion immediately instills in you a sense of calm (nowadays medical researchers have shown in scientific studies that a calm mind is essential for good health), inner strength, and a deep confidence and satisfaction, whereas it is not certain that the object of your feeling of compassion will benefit. Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust, and loneliness.”
Dalai Lama XIV, How to See Yourself As You Really Are
