We can’t live without others. And others can’t live without us. We need them in our lives. They need us in their lives. But it is important to know who you are inviting into your life. Don’t bring everybody into your life. Because you cannot be a friend to everybody. If you are a friend to everybody, then you are not a friend to your soul. Because you cannot make everybody happy. Do not even try to do it. It is not going to work.

You need a true friend. But if you can’t find a good friend, then be a true friend to yourself. Love yourself. Be your own best friend. Because if you cannot be your own best friend, no one can be your best friend. Your best friend lives within you. Your best friend is you, your soul, your heart.

Your true friend will always be there for you, will not judge you, will lift you up when you are down, will make you laugh when you are sad, will talk to you with respect, will always celebrate your success, will help heal your broken soul, will help you transform your life, and help you transform your pain into purpose.

If you cannot find a true friend, be a true friend to yourself, to your boss, to your wife, to your neighbor, to your customer, to your dog, to your mentor, to your soul. Can you make your soul happy?

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.”-
