Think As You Wake

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In Darling Hubby’s Happy Friday post, I read this quote and liked it so much that I’m sharing it here with you.

These wise words came from the Dalai Lama. I’m sorry. I don’t know which incarnation of the Dalai Lama said it.

In case you don’t know exactly who the Dalai Lama is, he is the highest spiritual leader and head of Tibetan Buddhism. The current Dalai Lama is the 14th, and he is 90 years old.

The Dalai Lama served as the resident spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet before 1959.

After that year, he led the Tibetan government in exile as represented by the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala, India.

Now you know who he is so let me share what he said. 

“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.”

I’d like to take that apart and present each thought separtely and put a personal emphasis on his words. 

As you wake up each day, think these thoughts.

I am fortunate to be alive.
I AM a precious human life.
I am not going to waste my life.
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself.
I am going to use all my energies to expand my heart out to other.
I am going to use all my energies to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.
I am going to have kind thoughts toward others.

I am not going to get angry at other people or think badly of them.

I am going to benefit others as much as I can.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Those are wise words that I hope you take to heart. They’re another way of saying, “Be a blessing to others.” Have a lovely Sunday.
