Via Barack Obama / FB:

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up & do something. 

Don't wait for good things to happen to you. 

If you go out & make some good things happen you will fill the world w/hope...and you will fill yourself w/hope.

Via Daily Dharma: The Mind's Natural Tranquility

When we begin to win the struggle to free ourselves from the waves of afflictive emotions, the mind will become like a calm and vast lake. This peaceful state, the natural tranquility of mind, will lead to deep samadhi [concentration], which is the pacification of wandering, deluded thoughts.

—Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, “An Investigation of the Mind”
