One of the most popular individuals in the world is the 14th Dalai Lama — Lhamo Thondup. You can easily see why as he exudes happiness around him while also providing a wealth of knowledge and insight. Despite the various issues that his country has faced, he’s been able to endure it all while still maintaining great positivity.

Some might even say he has toxic positivity, though I’d disagree. I mean this is the guy that quoted this beauty:

“There is a saying in Tibetan, ‘Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.’ No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.” — Dalai Lama XIV

He is fully aware of his problems and isn’t avoiding them by indulging in further positivity or anything.

But that does raise the question why is he able to be so happy all the time? Why does he never seem to break down or get angry over things? Well a lot of it comes to his own teachings and his own principles. He has passed these along to other people so that they too may be able to enjoy happiness.

I write (and sometimes do videos) about self-help for those who don't like self-help. Complete with the occasional memes and riffs on the industry that I love.
