WORD FOR THE DAY (gratefulness.org)
Wednesday, Aug. 19
Life is no brief candle to me.
It is a sort of splendid torch
which I have got hold of for the
moment, and I want to make it burn
as brightly as possible before handing
it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
From a speech given at the Municipal Technical College and School of Art in Brighton
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
