A Precious Human Life

Every day, think as you wake up,
Today I am fortunate to have woken up,
I am alive, I have a precious human life,
I am not going to waste it,
I am going to use
All my energies to develop myself,
To expand my heart out to others,
To achieve enlightenment for
The benefit of all beings.
I am going to have kind thoughts towards others.
I am not going to get angry,
Or think badly about others,
I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

~His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama
