JANUARY
When you engage in fulfilling the needs of others, your own needs are fulfilled as a by-product.
FEBRUARY
There will always be differences. But we are all a part of humanity. We must respect that
and come to mutual solutions.
MARCH
Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong
to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.
APRIL
Our planet is our house, and we must keep it in order and take care of it if we are genuinely concerned about happiness for ourselves, our children, our friends, and other sentient beings
who share this great house with us.
MAY
The ability to be present in each moment is nothing more and nothing less than the ability to accept the vulnerability, discomfort, and anxiety of everyday life.
JUNE
Even though our society doesn't emphasize it, the most crucial use of knowledge and education is to understand the importance of more wholesome action and disciplining the mind-essentially the development of a good heart.
JULY
In the same way that protecting a lamp from the wind allows the flame to burn without flickering, endeavor enables the virtuous mind to grow undisturbed.
AUGUST
What is endeavor? It is finding joy in doing what is good. ...As one of the seven billion human beings, I believe everyone has a responsibility to
develop a happier world.
SEPTEMBER
Affection, a sense of community, and a sense of concern for others are not some kind of luxury. They're about the survival of humanity.
OCTOBER
The most important quality to have toward your day is gratitude for what you have experienced, even for what was hard and what allowed you to learn and grow.
NOVEMBER
What's past is past, ... But the future can be different if we choose to make it so. We have to cultivate a vision of a happier, more peaceful future and make the effort now to bring it about. This is no time for complacency, hope lies in the action we take.
DECEMBER
Every day is a new opportunity to begin again. Every day is your birthday.
