a day of sharing words

I'm participating in LK Ludwig's online Day of Sharing Words. Her idea was to share poems, favorite quotes, etc. online through our blogs. When I got the e-mail announcement for this, I knew exactly what I'd post. I recently happened upon this and love it....
Every Day: A Daily Affirmation
by H.H. The XIVth Dalai Lama

"Every day, think as you wake up, 
today I am fortunate to have woken up, 
I am alive, 
I have a precious human life, 
I am not going to waste it, 
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, 
To expand my heart out to others, 
To achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, 
I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, 
I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others
I am going to benefit others as much as I can"
