&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

The innocence of a child sees miles of cotton candy,
stretching across the sky to begin and end the day.
Some see raging fires, leaving no hope or promise.
Others see the beautiful free brushstrokes of an artist's imagination.
It’s all the exact same thing of course,
We all share the same possibilities in our minds and lives,
The only difference is what you choose to do with that,
And how we see the sunrises and sunsets of life.
