Thich Nhat Tu, Vietnamese Buddhist monk

Here are 6 life lessons that will inspire you to live a better life:

Never give up.

“The only way to excellent achievement is to try again and again with hope and confidence.”- Thich Nhat Tu

Failure is not the end of the world.

“Our failures are essential stepping stones to success. Motivate yourself and develop the will to win.”- Thich Nhat Tu

Do not waste your time

“There are so many things to do in this limited life span. So you have to manage your day and time wisely.”- Thich Nhat Tu

You can transform your enemy into a friend

“Compassion and loving kindness can transform an enemy into a friend, while right view and wisdom can transform suffering into happiness.”

Do not worry yourself about your past

“The art of living happily is to forget your past which no longer exists, not be worried about the future which has not come yet, and to live the present moment mindfully and wisely.”

Live in the moment

“Your excellent future depends on your present right actions.”-

Whatever You Are Seeking, Seek It With Care

“Whatever one lacks in oneself he must seek outside.”- Xun Zi

Seek things. Whatever you are seeking, seek it with care. Do not seek what everybody is seeking. You are created for something special. You are created for something, not for everything. Do not just follow people. If you cannot question them, if you cannot question their motives, do not follow them. Instead of following people you don’t trust, it is better to follow yourself.

If something is not right, do not seek it. If something is going to add pain to your life, do not seek it. Seek love. Seek life. Seek positive relationships. Happiness is good, but do not seek it. Instead of seeking happiness, give happiness to other people. Wherever you go, go with happiness. Always make people happy. When you that, your happiness tank will never empty. Always seek with care. Always seek with love. Always seek with compassion. When you go after things, remember, you are what you are seeking. You are what you are chasing. So before you dive into anything, make sure you examine yourself on the inside. Do not ignore how you feel on the inside about what you are seeking. If it feels right, do it. If it does not, do not do it.
