What benefit?

“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive,
I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others.
I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” 
― Dalai Lama XIV 

Life...

 “If you can love someone with your whole heart,
even one person, then there's salvation in life.
Even if you can't get together with that person.” 

Last Standing...

 Don't be afraid to stand for what you believe in, even if that means standing alone.

Beyond...

 “Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect.
 it means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

Around

 “Love what you have.
 Need what you want.
Accept what you receive
. Give what you can.
 Always remember, what goes around, comes around…” 

Define Optimistic...

“Choose to be optimistic, it feels better.” 

― Dalai Lama XIV 

Le Petit Bonheur...

There are times when it is hard to believe in the future,

 when we are temporarily just not brave enough.

When this happens, concentrate on the present. 

Cultivate le petit bonheur (the little happiness) until courage returns. 

Look forward to the beauty of the next moment,

 the next hour, the promise of a good meal,

 sleep, a book, a movie, the likelihood that tonight the stars will shine

 and tomorrow the sun will shine. Sink roots into the present until

 the strength grows to think about tomorrow.

Ardis Whitman 

Be Me...

"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. 

If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. 

If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile... 

But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me."

cheers... 

Love to be real...

 “Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.”

Victory or Defeat...

“It is not the critic who counts;
not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly;
who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly
so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
 Theodore Roosevelt

Then Crawl...

 

 If you cant fly then run, if you cant run then walk, if you ant walk then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. 

Martin Luther King Jr

My luck...to catch it.

 

 Secrets have a cost. They're not free. Not now, not ever.

Got yah...

We all have secrets; the ones we keep, and the ones that are kept from us.
 

Planning...

“A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow”

Dwell on...

 “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” 
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
