Listen to your heart and follow your own path

change yourself before changing the world


Finally, it is all about getting clear about your own truth and following that. Cut through all the media hype and determine for yourself just what is really going on in the world around us today.
For your own peace of mind, get more information and insights into the conflicts around us and with that knowledge support a just cause rather than being led along blindly with the rest of the masses.
On a micro level, to resolve any conflict, put yourself in the other person’s shoes and listen to the promptings of your heart. Give up trying to control others and focus on your own life.
Here is another insightful buddhist message which is very relevant:
Do not believe, just because wise men say so.
Do not believe, just because it has always been that way.
Do not believe, just because others may believe so.
Examine and experience yourself!
So for your own peace of mind, just remember to closely examine any situation and then let your heart rule rather than your head.
To conclude, the main question to ask yourself on this 9/11 anniversary is:
How can I bring more peace into my life today?
To help you get started, reflect on these following questions and apply in your life:
  • What will YOU do to bring more peace into the world?
  • What will you NOT do?
  • What peace habit will you apply EVERY day?
  • WHO will you forgive and let go?
  • Who will you STOP trying to control?
Reflect on the answers to these questions. You may also want to come up with your own questions and reflections.
And remember that it is not just about bringing peace in the world today – it has to be a daily and life long practice.
By bringing more peace within us and around us, we ultimately bring more peace to the world and make it a better place.
On this 9/11 anniversary, surely that is not too much to ask for?!
“One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
