Mantra from the Dalai Lama

 Just a short Buddhist outlook on life.

 
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements
     involve great risk.

 2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

 3. Follow the three R's:
    Respect for self
    Respect for others and
    Responsibility for all your actions.

 4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a
    wonderful stroke of luck.

 5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great
     friendship.

 7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take  immediate
    steps to correct it.

 8. Spend some time alone every day.

 9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think
     back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the  foundation for your
     life.

13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal  only with the current
     situation. Don't bring  up the past.

 14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve  immortality.

 15. Be gentle with the earth.

16. Once a year, go someplace you've never  been before.

 17. Remember that the best relationship is  one in which your love
     for each other exceeds  your need for each other.

 18. Judge your success by what you had to  give up in order to get
     it.

 19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

I also know that dreams really do come true and you  have my Best Wishes and my best efforts in those.
