Credit for what I’m using as my topic goes to http://www.blog-tutorials.com/blog-tutorial/the-dalai-lama-on-blogging/
Here are some things selected from his instructions for life. (In the source blog, the writer applied them to blogging, which is brilliant.)
I can see many of them resonate with our weight loss efforts as well, so I copied them (and renumbered the list.)
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three Rs:
Respect for self
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. When you realise you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
7. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
8. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
9. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon
I love this. It’s such a good road map for what I’m trying to acheive in so many parts of my life!
