"Today I am fortunate to have woken up.
I am alive. I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it.
I am going to use
all my energies to develop myself,
to expand my heart out to others,
to achieve enlightenment for
the benefit of all beings
I am going to have
kind thoughts towards others.
I am not going to get angry,
or think badly of others.
I am going to benefit others
as much as I can."
~ Dalai Lama
Where to begin.
I have been living in a place of suffering. Suffering from depression, a ferocious inner-critic, lack of self-esteem, self-love and self-compassion. I'm attempting to pull myself out. The work is difficult. The rawness and realness of sitting with your own pain and not reaching for something to mask it, choosing to face it rather than ignore it is exhausting work. How does the saying go? Any worth doing takes hard work....
Suffering = Self destructive
I'm ready to do the work, the hard work...
Breathing in - Breathing out - Repeat
