Practice Compassion

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion"

-Dalai Lama

          The other day one of my friends told me that he has never seen me ever be mean to anyone. I can't describe how awesome this made me feel. I try my very hardest to make every day the best that it can be. I constantly listen to people complain or bitch about all different situations and to me it all seems so petty. Life is way too short to get upset by the small things. Just think, "will this matter in a year or two?" Life is so much enjoyable once you learn fighting over dirty dishes, rumors, politics or whose turn it is to buy toilet paper just doesn't matter in big scheme of life. I challenge you to go a day without saying anything negative about anyone, you'll be surprised by the effect it will have on your happiness.
