there are 8 billion people in the world who are completely obsessed with themselves. Be the one who isn’t.
What if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.
if you knew how you were going to feel when you realized you were dying you’d choose to be happy in every single moment from now on
Have you ever noticed a baby can be sitting doing nothing and then just start laughing and smiling for no apparent reason? I realized, the baby is right. It’s us who are wrong. The baby can’t walk or talk, he’s broke and he has no friends, but he’s alive and it’s incredible. The smallest thing is amazing. This chance to feel is an opportunity you can choose to make the most of despite your perceived problems. Life really is an incredible chance. Just laugh. Smile. Enjoy this moment for what it can be if you choose it. Be like the baby.

Instead of being an ‘influencer’ who tries to show everyone how great their life is, be an influencer who makes other people happier, wiser and kinder. You don’t need a million followers. You can start today, with the next person you meet. Spreading goodness really is that simple, if you let it be.

Since we desire the true happiness that is brought about by a calm mind, and such peace of mind arises only from having a compassionate attitude, we need to make a concerted effort to develop compassion Dalai Lama
What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all others, charity ~ Benjamin Franklin
