The Living Journal – Walking the path for ourselves.

I can only show you the way to enlightenment, 

We must walk the path for ourselves.

Quoted by the Buddha.

If you are determined to be drowned, no one can save you.

Quoted by Vladimir Putin 

Life is too short and tries not to wake up the next morning with many regrets. So love the people who treat you right and forget the one who don't.

We must believe that everything happens with a reason, if you happen to get a chance, take it. If it's going to change your life, then let it. In life we must make choices, to take chances; otherwise our life will never make any changes. 

Your happiness is a choice and your life isn't about pleasing everybody. But is about creating yourself. Stay true to yourself and being honest may not get you a lot of friends, but it will always get you the right one. 

Always remember this; don't judge my path if you haven't walked my journey. Stop letting people who do a little thing for you, and controlling so much of your mind, feelings and emotions. Yes, other people may be there to help us, teach us, guide us along our path, but the lesson to be learned is always ours. 

Life is simple so don't make it so complicated. Life is blessed and stop complaining that life is entirely too short-- but what they don't realize is that for the unfortunate, life is entirely too long. 

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you will look back and realize they were the big things. 

Thank you for reading, may you find peace and great bliss. With your support it helps to spread the Buddha’s precious teachings and turning the Dharma wheels in the world.

Aspiration For Bodhichitta

For those in whom the precious Bodhichitta has not arisen

May it arise and not decrease

But increase further and further.

Nagarjuna's Dedication of Merit

By this merit may we obtain omniscience then.

Having defeated the enemies wrong-doings.

May we liberate migrators from the ocean of existence.

With its stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death.
