Visualize Lord Buddha and think:
How lucky I am to be alive this morning, that death did not occur last night. How lucky I am to have my perfect human body; how lucky I am to have met Rinpoche, my most precious guru who reveals to me the un-mistaken path to enlightenment; how lucky I am to have met the Buddhadharma; I should not waste my life.
The purpose of my life is to free all sentient beings from suffering and its causes, and to lead them to liberation from samsara and to the state of peerless happiness - full and total enlightenment. This is my responsibility. To do so I must transform my mind, and I myself must actualize the path towards enlightenment.
Therefore … I must accumulate merit and do virtuous actions. I must avoid non virtuous actions so that all my actions become only causes for me to attain enlightenment, so that I can bring other sentient beings to enlightenment – as quickly as possible.
So … may ALL my actions be virtuous actions. May all my actions become cause for happiness and enlightenment. May all my actions bring happiness to all sentient beings. May all my actions bring enlightenment to all sentient beings.
