Be an instrument of peace

People ask for peace, but who can give us peace?
Can a person without peace be an instrument of peace?
Today, policymakers are dedicated to making, building and keeping peace.
A tremendous amount of human resources and research is invested in establishing world peace.
Even prizes are awarded to people for their work towards peace.
Peacelessness has infiltrated our lives far deeper than we care to admit.
Which comes first, inner peace or world peace? Unfortunately, time has shown us that waiting for the world to give us peace has been futile.
Peace begins with the self and each individual’s expression of that peace will ultimately contribute to world peace.
Adverse circumstances and situations create a lot of pressure, stress and destroy our peace.
We blame people, climate or disease. But these are the very teachers who come to teach us new lessons in life and we become experienced.
Write yourself a note or find an image of peace, and keep it near you. Between tasks, think peace. Before and after a phone call, think peace. While walking about, visualise peace emanating from you.
When you interact with others, imagine your peace influencing the atmosphere.
If you don’t feel peaceful, you have forgotten this truth.
Remind yourself of your peaceful nature again and again.
