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