Overcoming negative tendencies and enhancing positive potential are the very essence of the spiritual path.
This is a quote from the Dalai Lama. I found it on twitter. I think that is just delightful 😛
You’re putting me on.

In my ongoing effort to re-engineer my life, I’ve found myself reading a lot from the Dalai Lama. There is a lot to learn from him. Maybe I can find a little more peace in my life, and by doing so, help provide peace to others. It’s giving me food for thought, certainly. One thing that really rings true: Negative energy sucks the life out of me, and I’ve had too much negative for too long. It’s not going to be easy to re-train myself to minimize the negative and focus on the positive.
Whether you agree with his philosophy or not, you gotta admit this is better than the usual fart-joke level of blog post I make here.
Compassion, love, and altruism are not just religious qualities. As human beings, and even as animals, we need compassion and affection to develop, sustain ourselves, and survive. What is the purpose of life? I believe that satisfaction, joy, and happiness are the ultimate purposes of life. And the basic sources of happiness are a good heart, compassion and love.
Dalai Lama? Gimme a break… 😉 And YES, I DID GET MARRIED AGAIN!! LMAO!
