practice compassion.

DALAI LAMA
5- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
DALAI LAMA

anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot
do anything, then there is also no need to worry.
DALAI LAMA

If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for
others.
DALAI LAMA
12- Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, 'I am of no value', is wrong.

are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said

DALAI LAMA

that the world we pass on is as healthy, if not healthier, than we found it.
DALAI LAMA
16- To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.

the wise man's wisdom even if he associates with a sage.
DALAI LAMA

DALAI LAMA
