Instructions for Life by Virginia Hainsworth

By -


As we turn away from the old year and look to a new one in the hope that our lives will be happier, I thought that it might be timely to give this week’s blog over to the Dalai Lama and his Instructions for Life.  I wish you all a very safe, healthy and happy 2021.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFE by the Dalai Lama

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

2.       Follow the three R’s.  Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for your actions

3.       Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck

4.       Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship

5.       When you realise you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it

6.       Spend some time alone every day

7.       Open your arms to change but don’t let go of your values

8.       Share your knowledge.  It’s a way to achieve immortality

9.       Once a year, go somewhere you’ve never been before

10.    Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon
