Intention!

[edutopia @edutopia]

Hello educators. What's your one-word intention for 2023?

[ALAEducatorInnovation @AlahsPrincipal]

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Everyone has some interest in peace of mind. To maintain such inner peace, we have to learn that it is destructive emotions like anger and suspicion that disturb our minds, while compassion brings peace and self-confidence.

Just to affirm that whoever says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, is using a word that etymologically derives from “Holy Days”.

Wrapping up your class with intention can be really powerful. These *5 activities* bring SEL and academic reflection together. 🙌🏾

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

When you think of others, you no longer think only of yourself. When we face problems, we can use our intelligence to overcome them. We have to tell ourselves, ‘I’m a human being and I’m not alone’. We need never feel hopeless.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Generally speaking, whether or not technology can be thought of as good or bad depends on how it is used. We human beings should not be slaves to technology or machines. We should be in charge.

[ALAEducatorInnovation @AlahsPrincipal]

Be the change… ❤️

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We must educate our young children in the practice of compassion on a worldwide scale. Teachers and parents can instill in children real, warmhearted human values to tremendous benefit. We need a transformation in commitment to the universal values of compassion and love.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Compassion brings strength to our minds by lessening fear, increasing confidence and so on. Doubts and irrational thinking decline. As a result, in the company of others the mind is relaxed, there are feelings of closeness, and we have a feeling that life has meaning and purpose.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

If our mind is not peaceful and tamed, no matter how marvelous the external circumstances are, we will be burdened by frights, hopes, and fears. With a tamed mind, we will enjoy wealth or poverty, health or sickness; we can even die happily.

Did you know exercise can help calm your body and your brain? After your body works hard, the levels of stress hormones -- like adrenaline and cortisol -- drop. https://t.co/h3wUl4NhbS

@violadavis Happy anniversary! I just finished listening to you read your book and am recommending it to my reading buddies. Thank you for sharing your life’s journey. You’re an inspiration! ❤️

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

If we take a sense of universal altruism seriously, where is there room to have enemies? Our real enemies and the enemies of humanity are negative emotions like anger and hatred. Indeed, people who are dominated by powerful negative emotions should be objects of our compassion.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Satisfaction is characterized by inner peace. It arises from generosity, honesty and what I call ethical conduct, a way of behaving that respects others’ right to be happy.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We have to remember that each and every one of us is part of humanity. We must be determined to achieve positive change, but also to take a long view of what needs to be done. What is important is not to become demoralized. Optimism leads to success; pessimism leads to defeat.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

For most of us, our mother is our first teacher. My mother first showed me compassion and one of the things about her was that she always presented a kind face. As human beings, our lives begin in the shelter of our mother's care and affection, without which we would not survive.
