To expand my heart out to others (Dalai Lama)

       Every day, think as you wake up:

    Today I am fortunate to have woken up alive.  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 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. 

--Dalai Lama, Morning Prayer
