Embracing Diversity

Great compassion is the root of altruistic action. It really is a source of wonder. There is no greater source of help and happiness. The capacity to devote yourself to the welfare of others yields otherwise unobtainable power and potential for good. Generate great compassion and you become a friend of the world and a companion of the warm-hearted. Dali Lama

‎ Avoid associating with people that don't make you feel good about yourself. Instead, surround yourself with people who are kind, caring, who are growing and who want to learn. People who don't mind saying sorry or thank you and will ask you if you need anything? These people will keep you positive and preserve your self-respect. To find these people is to be one."

Make a pledge to seek wisdom, to be helpful, respectful, and reliable to those around you, not only for good karma, but to also be a great example of what a person should be to those around you. Be a person of compassion, of motivation, and determination. Set goals for yourself and accomplish them. Go for your dreams, and inspire others to go for their dreams as well. Be, because you can be everything, and anything that you set your mind too. Most importantly, be yourself!
