Today’s Reflection: 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 for 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.”
—Prayer of the Dalai Lama
