&ldquo;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.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br /> ― Dalai Lama XIV


They say to listen,
To follow and be quiet,
But I say be free

Break away from the chains that hold you,
The words of criticism and denial,
To a place that says ‘you’

The worlds shadow will lift away from you
You will see new light of ideas
Peace
and Joy

Break Free.

&quot;Everything will be ok in the end. If it&#039;s not okay, it&#039;s not the end.&quot;

love the message! The first stanza is a different length than the others, but it's still very good and I like how at the end it's a single line that says "break free!"
