 “I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the core of our beings we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well beings.

It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are soley magical creatures, it is a mistake to place all of our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace..,” [Dali Lama]

“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like on day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed.
