As Buddhists, our final goal is to attain enlightenment.
In fact, there are many ways of practices that can lead us towards liberation.

Some may choose to renounce and live a monastic life.
Many remain as lay person and practise meditation.
Daily practice is the utmost importance to improve in spirituality.
Being kind, gentle and generous are the basic morality that one should cultivate.
To let go of our "unwholesome thoughts and deeds" are of paramount significance.

Lets start with recognising our negative habits and put an effort to eradicate them gradually.
The path to liberation should have a strong foundation in morality.
One could only progress should morality be well cultivated and integrated deeply in our daily activities.

As mentioned by Ven. Chodron (a Tibetian nun), being kind is basically the best miracle one can perform in this life,and not the ability to read people's mind or capable of performing some sorts of magic power.

Lets practise kindness in our daily life, do it now, and start it from ourselves.

May you be well n happy
May you grow in wisdom n compassion
