Forward Progress

"In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher. We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves. Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace. Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." ~ His Holiness The Dalai Lama

For those of us who are still searching for that balance, or suffering through the new fangled "quarter life crisis," pay special attention to the second sentence in that quote.

We need to get over ourselves, stop trying to keep up with the Joneses, and let go of Facebook envy.

I'm talking to myself, to my close friends, to my family, to any and every one.

"We live in the 21st century, where literally anything is possible. To be pessimistic in a field of infinite potential is irresponsible." ~ Brent Hunter
