Deacon Phillippe, the 24-year-old son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, says he feels “extremely lucky” to have a Hollywood career:

“At the same time, I hold myself to a standard. I’m not really looking to prove anything to anyone but myself to try to be the best version I can be, the best person I can be and work as hard as I can. A lot of people are going to assume things … All I can do is do my thing, and show that I want to work extremely, extremely hard.”

@DalaiLama I think about this every day. What message can I send to the people that need uplifting? How can I turn someone’s day positive. What good deed am I going to do today?
Being kind costs nothing. Smiles are free.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

@BarbaraOneillAU Smell loss is an interesting early clue, but it's not a dementia test. Aging, infections, medications and other conditions can affect smell too. A persistent change in smell plus changes in thinking, judgment or daily functioning deserves medical evaluation.

DEMENTIA'S FIRST WARNING IS NOT MEMORY LOSS

1. Forgetting names and losing keys is the last sign, not the first.

2. By the time memory slips, dementia has been building for years.

3. A change in personality shows earlier, and everyone sees it before you.

4. Slower reactions, harder problem solving and a weaker grip come first.

5. Underneath it all, brain cells are not getting enough fuel.

6. The first thing to fade is your sense of smell.

7. The nerves for smell run from your sinuses straight into the brain, with no relay in between.

8. Most people notice food losing its taste.

9. Try the kitchen test by smelling spices with your eyes closed, one at a time.

Rather than be always striving for personal happiness, try to make others happy. In being of spiritual, mental, and material service to others, you will find your own needs fulfilled.

~ Paramahansa Yogananda

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

If you can learn to accept and even welcome the endings in your life, you may find that the feeling of emptiness that initially felt uncomfortable turns into a sense of inner spaciousness that is deeply peaceful.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Anger may seem to be a source of energy, but it’s blind. It causes us to lose our restraint. It may stir courage, but again it’s blind courage. Negative emotions, which often arise from a spontaneous impulse, cannot be justified by reason, whereas positive emotions can. Scientists suggest that constant anger and hatred undermine our immune system. Compassion, bringing inner strength, is good for our health.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

No matter how capable a person may be, no one can survive alone. We depend on the community in which we live. By dedicating ourselves to the welfare of others, we actually bring about our own benefit. As soon as I wake in the morning, I dedicate myself to helping others to be happy, which gives me self-confidence and inner strength.

[Thoughts Are Seeds @thoughtsRseeds]

"Nothing can heal anger except compassion. That is why the practice of compassion is a very wonderful practice."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

[Thoughts Are Seeds @thoughtsRseeds]

"The nectar of compassion is so wonderful. If you are committed to keeping it alive, then you are protected. What the other person says will not touch off the anger and irritation in you, because compassion is the real antidote to anger.”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease.
