“If you live your life honestly and truthfully, you’ll be open and transparent, which leads to trust. And trust leads to friendship. This is something worth taking into account, that the basis of friendship is trust not money and warm-heartedness is essential if we are to live happy lives.” Dalai Lama

“I often ask myself what is the purpose of our lives and I conclude that life’s purpose is to be happy. We have no guarantee what will happen in the future, but we live in hope. That’s what keeps us going.” Dalai Lama

3.

“Conflicts arise when we dwell too much on secondary differences between us: differences of nationality, faith, whether we are rich or poor, educated or uneducated. What ‘s more helpful to remember instead is that we are all human beings and from that point of view we’re all the same.” Dalai Lama

“Compassion reduces our fear, boosts our confidence, and opens us to inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connections with them and a sense of purpose and meaning in life.” Dalai Lama

5.

“There is a link between our physical and verbal actions and our emotions. If, instead of anger, hatred and suspicion, we are moved by loving-kindness, we will naturally have greater respect for others and our actions will be non-violent.” Dalai Lama

6.

“Everyone wants to lead a peaceful, happy life, but happiness and success aren’t measured by how much money you have, but by whether you have inner peace in your heart.” Dalai Lama

7.

“In our daily life, we feel happy when someone smiles and treats us with affection. But if they frown we feel uncomfortable. This is a sign that we need friends. Friendship doesn’t depend on fame, money or physical strength. It’s based on trust and trust depends on love and affection. Therefore, love and affection are important if we are to live a happy life.” Dalai Lama

Interesting he just posted quote #6 this morning and someone had mentioned in a topic earlier this week, if having lots of money defines who you are and I said it did not. Now that you see this quote above, you will see that it’s all about what’s in your heart – Love, Happiness, relationships and peace all resides in your heart.

Sending you all lots of love, positivity and light your way to wake up this morning, start fresh and anew, to the life you want to live. <3
