"1-Leave a Legacy of Less Suffering

When you reach the end of your life, imagine looking back and knowing that the world is a bit better because you existed. Your actions have the power to reduce suffering or amplify it. Choose to make a positive impact, no matter how small, so that the world is kinder and less burdened because of you. It’s within your control to leave behind a legacy of compassion rather than one of pain.

2-The Power of Your Existence

Consider the impact of your life: when it's all said and done, will the world be a little less harsh because of you? Each of us has the ability to reduce or increase suffering in the world. By choosing to act with compassion and integrity, you ensure that your life contributes positively. Make your existence count by leaving behind a world that's just a bit brighter and less troubled.

3-A Life Worth Living: Reduce the Suffering

Imagine looking back at your life and knowing that, because of you, there is less suffering in the world. Every action you take has the potential to either increase or reduce pain. By choosing kindness, empathy, and responsibility, you can make sure that your existence leaves the world a little better than you found it. Aim to be the reason there’s less suffering, not more."
