10 Lessons From the Dalai Lama

I forgot where I got this from, but I love these lessons, and decided to share (if anyone knows where this is from, please let me know, so I can give credit to whoever created this list!!)

1. Nothing is permanent
2. Smile if you want a smile from another face
3. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to achieve it.
4. Once a year go some place you've never been before.
5. Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.
6. Follow the three R's: Respect for Self, Respect for others, and Responsibility for all your actions.
7. With realization of one's own potential & self confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.
8. The ultimate source of happiness is our mental attitude.
9. You have to start giving first and expect absolutely nothing.
10. Kindness is the key to peace and harmony in the family life.

Remember these lessons, and things will (hopefully!!) turn for the good in this world.
