During the 2018 European Regional Meeting, Rinpoche advised the importance of setting a bodhicitta motivation so that every action becomes Dharma, the cause for enlightenment.
In the morning, do your practice. If possible, your morning motivation should be: “I am working, sitting, sleeping, eating, doing my job, everything, to become Dharma.” From that motivation, everything becomes Dharma.
Everything should be done with Dharma, especially with bodhicitta. With bodhicitta then all your work becomes Dharma, the cause for enlightenment.
Even if there’s no actual bodhicitta, with the meditation on bodhicitta, your life becomes oneness with Dharma. So no matter how difficult life is, you enjoy.
