I want to live my life in such a way that
when I get out of bed in the morning,
the devil says, "aw shit, he's up!”
Steve Maraboli
You can walk in a dream while you are awake:
Just walk in the misty morning of a forest!

- as soon as I wake up, I remember Buddha’s teaching: the importance of kindness and compassion, wishing something good for others, or at least to reduce their suffering. Then I remember that everything is interrelated, the teaching of interdependence. So then I set my intention for the day: that this day should be meaningful. Meaningful means, if possible, serve and help others. If not possible, then at least not to harm others. That’s a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama XIV,
