- I like real conversations with genuine people.
- I like poems, and stories, and journal entries.
- I like Friday nights.
- I like the ritual of drinking tea and how it soothes me.
- I like text messages.
- I like the feeling of intimacy and where it takes me.
- I like sharing all things, it is the greatest of all my likes.
Why am I telling you all this? Visiting and rejoicing with the things that you take pleasure in returns you to a place of appreciation and recognition. That’s a serving of gratitude on a silver platter!
Rather than criticizing others, we should instead criticize ourselves. By critiquing our pride, our attachments, our anger and jealousy, we can build a stronger discipline with ourselves which leads to a greater spiritual awakening of our soul.
His Holiness, Dalai Lama
