The past is past; nothing can change it. But the future depends on the present; we still have the opportunity to shape it. This is not a matter of employing technology or spending more money, it's a question of developing a sense of concern for others' well-being

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

When you have a peaceful and tamed mind, life is more pleasant for your friends, spouse, parents, children, and acquaintances; your home is quiet, and all who live there enjoy an excellent sense of relaxation. Upon entering your house, others feel a sense of happiness.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We may sometimes feel that we can't do much as individuals, but humanity is made up of individuals; together we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.

Also, it’s been sooo long since I’ve used Twitter that I didn’t know you had to opt in to seeing your feed in chronological order? Slowly becoming a social media outcast. ✌🏼

Anyone else confused when they see grown ass adults wearing (exposed) mismatched socks?? 😑

My favourite email of the day...

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Ideas may start with a single individual, but they grow as they are taken up by humanity at large. Young people can make a definite contribution to peace in the world.

It’s an “as per my last email...” kind of day.

[Joshua Hartson @JoshuaHartson]

And it’s happening in MULTIPLE cities across the US.

The number of times I’ve read, “...officers involved have been suspended without pay, and a full Internal Affairs investigation has been launched.” involving peaceful protesters being injured by police is SCARY.

[Joshua Hartson @JoshuaHartson]

LOL, okayyyyyyy?!? I’m not sure what’s happening?

[Joshua Hartson @JoshuaHartson]

I consider myself an educated man, intelligent even... today, I found out... kindergarten is the correct spelling of what I’ve known all my life to be “kindergarden” #MindBlown

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

The purpose of life is to be happy. This is what all human beings have in common—the wish to lead a happy life. Many think that happiness is to be found outside us in material things, but actually it’s something that comes from within, from warm-heartedness and concern for others

[Joshua Hartson @JoshuaHartson]

I’ll never understand the application of this brown heart???? -> 🤎

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Compassion enhances our self-confidence because a calm mind allows our marvellous human intelligence to bloom. When we’re angry, our thinking is distorted and we don’t see the different aspects of reality. A calm mind enables us to take a broader, more realistic view.

When the egg shell comes off your hard boiled egg in one piece... you know it’s going to be a good day. Happy Friday!

Trophies stacked at the @bbqbabesont food truck! If you’re at Belleville’s Poutine Feast, I recommend the Cheeseburger Pickle Poutine! 👅💦

[Joshua Hartson @JoshuaHartson]

Snow!? S’no thank you.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Anger and aggression sometimes seem to be protective because they bring energy to bear on a particular situation, but that energy is blind. It takes a calm mind to be able to consider things from different angles and points of view.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Just as we protect our health by observing physical hygiene, by tackling our destructive emotions with skill we’ll achieve emotional hygiene
