Do You REALLY Want Peace?
There is a great need for peace these days. If you REALLY want peace in the world it is going to take some work. It will require a great deal from you personally. Are you willing to make a contribution?
What are you going to do about it?
So, what are you going to do to bring peace? Are you going to go to a rally? Or, write a letter to the editor of your local paper? Or, discuss the issues with friends and family? Each of these activities happen in a healthy society and it forces people to consider the issues. However, it is simply not enough.
If you really want to bring peace to the world stand in front of a mirror and take a long hard look. If you truly want to be an agent for change it will require more than many are willing to sacrifice. It will require you to swallow your pride, turn the other cheek, respond to evil with love, and find inner peace in the midst of outer turmoil.
How many detest war, but react with anger when a neighbor lies or cheats? How many of us truly have peace in our hearts when confronted with stress and anger in the workplace? How many times do we feel anger or envy each day? Right there in your heart is the same thoughts playing themselves out on the world stage.
Your Life is a Microcosm of the World…
If you want to bring peace to the world you need to bring peace to your individual experience. It is that simple. Peace begins at home, deep within your thought, and the key is spiritual growth. It is about uncovering your connection to the divine on a daily basis and letting this knowledge permeate all that you do.
Be Love. Express Love. Envelope everyone you come in contact with in Love. Look at the world through the lens of Love. This is what it means to be a peacemaker!! It takes work. It takes practice. It takes a commitment. It takes a great love for humanity. Few truly make this commitment. Many will talk the talk, but how many are willing to put their own interests aside to help their neighbor in need?
Are you really willing to do what it takes to bring peace to our world? Next time you are confronted with hatred, bad attitudes, stress, a pompous boss, an unkind family member, an unjust business owner, or any other form of evil, think about what is going on in the world. Then, right there in the face of discord express kindness, compassion, and grace in every circumstance. It’s not easy, but it is what’s required to bring peace into this world.
Although the activities happening in the world seem larger than life they find their roots in the same thought that causes one to strike out in anger when a friend lies or cheats. The fact is, if you feel anger, or envy, or any other negative thought, and ACT on these impulses in your individual experience you are contributing to discord not peace!----Jeff Sintra!
I found this very true & comforting! I really want Peace!---Moon Girl
