Blessings donโt come from outside, but from within. Whatever blessings we receive are the result of our own efforts and positive actions.
Dalai LamaIt is important that when pursing our own self-interest we should be 'wise selfish' and not 'foolish selfish'. Being foolish selfish means pursuing our own interests in a narrow, shortsighted way. Being wise selfish means taking a broader view and recognizing that our own long-term individual interest lies in the welfare of everyone. Being wise selfish means being compassionate.
Dalai LamaWe are the creators of our own happiness and suffering, for everything originates in the mind.
Dalai Lama
