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 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." -Dalai LamaXIV
