When you wake up in the morning, ask yourself, 'Why am I here?'
You are here to live your life. You are here to make yourself happy You are here to make other people happy. You are here to write your own story.
You are not here to waste your time. If you are not moving forward, then you are wasting your time. You need to change something.
Because if you want a different future, now is the right time to start doing the right things, life-changing things, positive things.
In the words of Swami Sivananda, 'Live with a purpose. Do not roam about aimlessly. Walk with a definite aim. Climb the hill of knowledge steadily...''
Start your day with a clear purpose in mind. Do not do something just because you feel like doing it. If something is not going to help you, then let it go.
If you want to achieve greatness in your life, know what you want and don't settle for less.
Reach out to other people. You are here to bring out the best in other people. Remember, the world is bigger than you.
If you want to make the world a better place, you can start by reaching out to other people.
And do not forget to practice the art of compassion every day. The world needs it. People need it. And you need it.
According to The Dalai Lama, to practice the art of compassion,
‘We must recognize that life is suffering. We must have a profound desire to transcend it. … we must also have the compassionate ambition to relieve the all-pervasive sufferings of others.’
‘We must have loving-kindness, the wish to provide everyone with supreme happiness.’
‘We must work to recognize our dependence on those for whom we feel compassion.’
‘We must contemplate the shortcomings of self-centeredness, seeing how it causes us to act in unvirtuous ways and how our own present fortune takes advantage of those less fortunate.’
‘A change of mind is a change of mind.’
‘An open heart is an open heart.’
‘When we feel most stingy, we must make an extra effort to be generous. When we feel impatient or judgmental, we must do our utmost to be patient.’
