Dalai Lama Quotes About Appreciation

• An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful
  and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too. On the
  other hand, hatred, jealousy and fear upset our peace of mind, make
  us agitated and affect our body adversely. Even our body needs peace
  of mind and is not suited to agitation. This shows that an
  appreciation for peace of mind is in our blood.
