“Make this year a meaningful one so that when we turn back to look at it we can live our lives with a sense of happiness and joy.
“If an individual were to make a conscious intention to live his or her life with a sense of purpose, live it in a good way, then the ripple effect of that really spreads, first from the individual to the family, then to the community, to the friends, neighbours and so on, in a kind of ripple effect. This is how society gets changed and affected. Transformation of society starts from the individual, from inside to outwards.” ~ Dalai Lama
