A precious human life

Every day, think as you wake up,

today I am fortunate to have woken up,

I am 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 have going to have kind thoughts toward others,

I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others,

I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

- Dalai Lama
