Thought to share from the Dalai Lama

Quote to remember when we get busy!


Roots to Breath, Dona Anderson

The Dalai Lama always shares such wise words. I found this a few weeks ago and thought I'd share it with you.  I'm sure it may relate to ourselves at some point in our lives or to others we know.  

When asked "what thing about humanity surprises you the most?"the Dalai Lama answered:

"Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money,
then sacrifices money to recuperate his health,
then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn't enjoy the present,
and as a result, he doesn't live in the present or the future.
And he lives as if he's never going to die and then dies having never really lived."


I hope we all live each day well.

  1. Sometimes the same ideas packaged up and delivered in a different format can find new meaning in our lives!

    Thanks for the "new package"
