\nQuestion:<\/span>
\nWhat thing about humanity surprises you the most?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

The Dalai Lama\u2019s answer was as follows:<\/span>
\n\u201cMan.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause he sacrifices his health in order to make money.\u00a0 Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health.\u00a0 Then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present, and as a result he does not live in the present or the future.\u00a0 He lives as if he\u2019s never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The most valuable gift that God gives you along with his unconditional love is your health.\u00a0 Your health, well being and vitality empowers you to fully live and actualize your creative potential.\u00a0 Being healthy in all aspects of life, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically and financially allows you to function at your highest and most creative levels and make your greatest contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n

May you be blessed with a renewed spirit, purpose, attitude and health.<\/span>
\nAnd may you manifest your highest creative potential!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything<\/em>.\u201d<\/strong>
