Instructions for life (Part 1)

I came across an inspirational poster one evening as I was attending a Mindfulness class at MIND in Bradford.  Over the next 3 days I intend to share with you some of the wisdom of the Dalai Lama. Some of these points may help you frame some of those New Year’s Resolutions that you are thinking of making for a happier, healthier life.

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three Rs: (a) Respect for self, (b) Respect for others and (c) Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realise you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
