U Are Worth It..
When someone has to repeat the same thing to you many times over, it means you don’t respect yourself and as a result others.
When you consistently forget something again and again, it means it is not important to you and you subconsciously expect others to take care of it for you.
When you make the same mistakes over many times, it means you are asking other people to take responsibility for you.
Expectation of others can maybe happen if you have spent your life for others. But then if you expect, you didn’t spend your life for others.
Get it together and don’t be reminded, don’t forget, and don’t commit the same mistakes.
Make a change and blow your mind and everyone elses around you.
Show others and yourself you are worth something because you are.

Timely advice for us. We have little control over the circumstances around us. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing it. Live our life with the understanding of how precious every single day would be. Our time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life . Engage in those essential activities such as learning and practicing Dharma that will give us true purpose, clarity, and meaningful in life. All of us are worthy if we transform ourselves, turning negatives to positives, laziness to working hard towards our goal in life.
Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.
We think we are not worth it as we are not putting effort to make ourselves worth. This is an encouraging message for all of us to do something good for ourselves and not let the past set us back to what we have to do. We are worth of anything and everything as long we put in the equal efforts.
Thank you Rinpoche for this wise and encouraging words for us to push ourselves forward and beyond our perceived limitations.

I have done these actions before and I am very asshamed of all these actions that I have done. Now I keep note books and set reminders on my phone so that I make sure that I would do the required information as and when it is needed. Not wasting any time for any nonsense like forgetting to do some thing. Not using “forget” or “laziness” as excuses anymore.
This post is definitely worth another look. The underlying message from Rinpoche is that we are all better than we realize and have allowed ourselves to be. Our lack of self-worth is what keeps us from delivering the best in ourselves and many have given up as the result of feeling comfortable in our present state. This attitude that we embrace is the same we bring into our spiritual life and such attitude cannot take us far in our spiritual development and therefore Rinpoche is always doing what he can to bring out the best in his students. That requires a change in attitude.
The Guru also plays the role of a coach just like gym instructor. His job is to push, cajole and encourage us into going beyond our normal boundaries until such time when we see the results and truly believe that we can. The motivation behind Rinpoche’s words is to effect a transformation within us, and one which we can see for ourselves and be empowered to do better. When we can do better, we release others of the extra burden to have to look out for us. This is the start of compassion.
What kind advice and lovingly given. Thank you Rinpoche for always telling us the method to empower ourselves to become a better person. If we apply this simple rule of doing what we said we would do or just doing what we should do, we will be helping others so that they do not have to worry whether we have done it or not. We will not burden others and in fact, make their minds be at rest.
When we get a message like this from our Guru, it means there is definitely more in us than we realize and have expressed. Come to think about it, its very true how we sabotage ourselves all the time due to our lack of self esteem and laziness to change. If we want others to feel good about us, then we have to give them a reason to and to start with, we need to feel good about ourselves. But how can we when we know we are not doing the best we can. Therefore the first thing we need to do is get ready to step out of our physical, mental and emotional comfort zones.
I have personally witnessed many cases where Rinpoche has brought up the best in his students and the change is often tremendous, but only if the student co-operates even as Rinpoche pushes. Except for a very caring friend, most people would not even bother if we are not up to mark. They will just move on and leave us as the losers we may be so it makes sense to respond when someone cares enough to want to see the best we can be.
Oh gosh I have done almost all what Rinpoche mentioned above. I want to make a change because I can.
Oh dear… Rinpoche, you’ve just wrote a story that i can relate to my poor character…
i guess i owe mum and a few of my close friends, an apology…
