“Resentment is allowing someone to live rent-free in a room in your head” – Roger Ebert

Good morning. You’re only getting old when you find that your regrets are taking the place of your dreams.

Just Say Hi

1 comment

Every once in a while I’ll talk to one of my single friends about finding that right person.  Often times I’ll tell them to just make small talk with the strangers around you – you could open a door to a new relationship or at the very least you can improve your socializing skills.  I randomly found this quote today and it reminded me of all those conversations I had with my friends.

I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, ‘Hi.’ They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.

What would you say to the Dalai Lama if he was serving you lunch?  What an incredible picture.  This was taken of him volunteering in San Francisco.

He’s been so intriguing to me for a long time.  His life from being chosen as the next Dalai Lama as a child to escaping China’s communist regime and being exiled from his home in Tibet is so interesting.  Plus his face and expressions totally reminds me of my late grandpa.  Here’s a quote I found from him:

I myself feel, and also tell other Buddhists that the question of Nirvana will come later.
There is not much hurry.
If in day to day life you lead a good life, honesty, with love, with compassion, with less selfishness, then automatically it will lead to Nirvana.

I think that quote applies to all religions… or at least it should!

Check out more photos like the one above @ TIME’s The Year in Pictures 2009.  There’s a lot of good ones!
