No Os Rindáis Nunca! Do Not Ever Give Up!

I have this scroll with these words at the reception of my flat.  My wonderful friend, Anna Maria gave it to me years ago and it always takes pride of place in our home (regardless how often we move;o).

Every now and again I read these powerful words and recently I realized just how deeply its message/words resonate to my core. 

Not only regarding the message of peace, for me this message also speaks of my dreams and goals.  About growing into the responsible and powerful being I know I truly am, of achieving great things in life.  In fact whatever is important to you in life, don’t give up, hold it in your heart and mind and don’t give up.

Below are the words of wisdom in Spanish and English

NO OS RINDÁIS NUNCA

Pase lo que pase

No os rindáis nucas

Expandid vuestro corazón

En vuestro país se gasta demasiada energía

Para desarrollar la mente y no el corazón

Desarrollar vuestro corazón

Sed compasivos

No sólo con vuestro amigos

Sino con todos

Sed compasivos

Trabajad para la paz

dentro de vuestro corazón y en el mundo

Trabajad para la paz

No abandonéis nunca

Sucede lo que suceda

No importa lo que ocurra a vuestro alrededor

No os rindáis

Su Santidad el XIV Dalai Lama

DO NOT EVER GIVE UP!

Whatever happens
Do not give up
Expand your heart
In your country you spend too much energy
to develop the mind and not the heart
Develop your heart
Be compassionate
Not just with your friends
but with everyone

Be compassionate
Work for peace
within your heart and in the world
Work for peace

And once more I tell you
Do not ever abandon this
Whatever happens
No matter what happens around you
Do not ever give up

His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May 2011 bring you all your heart and mind desire.
