My child, you must remember, my life was my message. Live as if you were to die tomorrow, but learn as if you were to live forever. Strive to be the change you wish to see in the world.
Nonviolence is not a garment to be put on and off at will. Its seat is in the heart, and it must be an inseparable part of our being.
Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable; be honest and transparent anyway, for they are virtues that shape character.
Remember, in a gentle way, you can shake the world. It might seem like your actions are small, but they are not insignificant. It is the small acts that will send out ripples of hope and change.
The essence of life is not in the great victories and grand failures, but in the simple joys. Discovering and cherishing these joys will give your life a new hue.
Most importantly, keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
This, my dear, is the essence of how to live.
