"Everyday, 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." (the Dalai Lama)
Do you believe that the intentions that you deliberately bring into your consciousness have an impact on the way you live your life? I do, and maybe you do, too. But we all know that it's easier to just think about this, or agree with the idea, in principle, than it is to put it into practice. It would be a good idea to take this quote, and write this down... or write down something else that is in keeping with your own values, ideals and goals -- and literally read it aloud, or silently, every morning. Put it on your bedside table. Laminate it, and carry it in your pocket. Do whatever will help you to turn an idea into a practice.
