I stole this off of a friends Facebook status...
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
I think it pretty much hits the nail on the head. Take a minute today to slow down and take in life and the world around you. Notice the small things you don't normally find worth looking at. Compliment someone. Do something nice for a stranger. Take a deep breath. Be thankful for life. I will too :)
