Breath is the supporter who cares for me.
Breath is the protector who gives me strength.
Breath is the teacher who gives me courage.
Breath is the silence that brings calm and peace.
Breath is the medicine that heals when I hurt.
Breath is the mother who gives birth and life.
Breath is the path of enlightenment and compassion.Geshe YongDong Losar

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
It doesn’t matter where you are starting from — all that matters is where you are going. Every great life or career is the accumulation of hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of efforts that nobody ever sees or appreciates. Great success is the result of countless hours, maybe even months and years, of preparation and hard work toward the goal of becoming very good at what you are doing.
Everything you do or fail to do, counts in some way. A person becomes good at his or her chosen field by improving incrementally, continuously over time. Develop a continuous learning plan for yourself, and dedicate yourself toward getting better and better at what you do.
The Power of Self-Confidence
Brian Tracy
The Enlightenment declared the conviction that the goal of life was happiness, and that if this goal could be attained at all, it was to be found in the here and now, despite the manifold imperfections of earthly life.
