Hi Friends,
Happy New Year!
I came across this quote and I thought this would be an appropriate way to start my blog for 2015.
Here are some words of wisdom from Dalai Lama:
“Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
What Dalai Lama says is very true. I am sure we are all guilty of the above and we all chase after the wrong things. We need to get a proper perspective of our own lives so that we can live it to the fullest within our capacity.
Since this is the beginning of 2015, we should take stock of our lives and make necessary changes so that we can live a meaningful and happy life. Work is only a means to an end, not the end itself. The end being to have a good quality of life with good health, happiness,doing what you really want such as spending time with your family, travelling, doing charity work, gardening, playing golf, tennis, soccer, cycling, etc. Our stress level is what causes ill health, anxiety, fear, etc. Try to reduce that and things will definitely improve.
If you need ideas on how to make changes, please read my blog posting on "New Year Resolutions 2013"- http://helpyourselfnhelpothers.blogspot.sg/2012/12/new-year-resolutions-2013.html
Best Wishes for 2015! God Bless!
Best Regards,
