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

Think before you Speak
"Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates.
At the first gate, ask yourself, 'Is it true?'
At the second ask, 'Is it necessary?'
At the third gate ask 'Is it kind?'"
-Sufi saying- Gurinder Singh Choudhar(thanks)
Bunni Vaughan Healy: Gate 4: Is it funny. (This one has gotten me in some trouble)
