If you say you don't have money to help a animal shelter, why then do you have money to buy meat?

If we do not create inner peace, outer peace is not possible.

A persons outer action reflects their inner mind.

When others put you down for who you are or what you're doing, it just means that you're going in the right direction.

Don't hang on to your failures, because you can always try again. Trying gives hope. Hope gives us life.

Gymnasts, lazy people, complainers and successful people have all practiced to be what they are good at. So if you keep practicing being lazy, you will be lazy. If you keep practicing complaining, you will constantly complain. If you practice compassion, generosity, patience, working hard and having a bigger vision, you will become better at it with time because you will create the causes to become better. You are practicing to become better.

Not everyone can see things the way you see it, so let go. You can't see everything the way they see it either, so let go again.
