Image
  Liquor, tobacco, pornography, and other questionable industries try to mold us to believe that something harmful is actually something that we want and is beneficial for us, but secretly wishes to create addiction. However there are many people who can resist those inappropriate temptations. There are even perceptions that we can cultivate so that we can help others. Read one of the many best se llers about how to change your perceptions and start thinking like a winner.

Our personal energy system and how we use it both defines us and brings meaning to our interactions with others and our world.

We can begin by respecting ourselves with at least as much respect as we give to others, but this time let's do it by caring for ourselves as "other". This will bypass our present psychological damage, which has been causing us to heap even more harm onto ourselves. Higher self respect will help us begin to care for ourselves correctly. ~Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~
