The simpler and clearer, the better. To be simple is to be direct. To be direct is to be honest. To be honest is to be fully human.

I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to do in the future, but I know that in the present, I know what I need to do. The plane that I am on is going to crash, so I’m jumping, and something tells me that I will find a parachute on the way down.

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.

clarity, peace — March 9, 2009

I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.

~ Dalai Lama
