"Dalai Lama's 18 Rules for Living"

I came across the Dalai Lama's 18 Rules for Living and wanted to share this with you. It is a collection of some of his quotes that offer practical advice and wisdom on living your life. For me, it serves as a philosophy for life that I believe everyone can truly benefit from. This profoundly therapeutic piece will take just a few seconds to read, but it is my hope that you take the time to think on these things.

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