Winston Churchill said:

Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

Satisfaction

In Tibetan, the word for “body” is lü, which means “something you leave behind,” like baggage. Each time we say lü, it reminds us that we are only travelers, taking temporary refuge in this life and this body. In Tibet, people did not distract themselves by spending all their time trying to make their external circumstances more comfortable. They were satisfied if they had enough to eat, clothes on their backs, and a roof over their heads.

Going on, as we do, obsessively trying to improve our conditions, can become an end in itself, and a pointless distraction. Would people in their right mind think of fastidiously redecorating their hotel room every time they checked in to one?


-Rigpa Quote of the Day

"DO THE RIGHT THING"

You only live this life once so do the right thing. Stick to your beliefs and follow what you know in your heart is the best thing to do. If we all did this there would be no violence, drug and alcohol addictions, no homeless or neglected children from addicted parents. Your heart will never lead you astray. Your heart will never tell you to bully, lie, cheat, steal or do drugs. Just do the right thing and you will get to where you want to be in life. If you are a student, you can just listen and learn, this will get you what you want, if you want to graduate. If you make a mistake, realize it is just a bump on the road of life, accept the consequences and move on, if you keep making the mistake worse, your road will be much rougher and bumpier. It will also take you further from your goals.

Show integrity and respect to yourself and all the people around you. Then you will be much happier and proud about the person you are and others will respect you also. We hope you do the right thing in your life because you are the one that has to live it! We love you!
