Choose Peace.
Each of our worlds is what we each make it to
be.
It can be a world of war or a world of
peace. Both exist. And many others as well. We can choose which one
we each want to live in.
I choose to live in a world of peace.
So, now. With this choice comes a myriad of additional choices.
If I am committed to my choice, I need
to be mindful of it throughout my day and use it as my guide for
every other decision I make. I need to choose not to become angry and
hostile at drivers who block my way. I need to choose not to become
impatient with others who appear to frustrate my plans. I need to
choose to be openminded with others who do not share my political
views or my opinions or beliefs.
I need to choose to create peace
instead of picking fights. I need to understand that eventhough our
culture appears to be focused on themes like “the war on drugs”
or “the war on AIDS” or “the war on terror” … that
declaring war on anything simply enflames the energies of both
factions and does not focus on the resolution of the conflict. It
fans the flames of the conflict.
So instead of mentally and emotionally
waging war on AIDS, I will focus instead on creating a world for
myself filled with health and strength. Instead of battling a world
of greed and hunger and inequality, I will make a world for myself of
sharing and prosperity and acceptance of all.
This world exists. All manners of
worlds exist. I get to choose which one I want to live in.
The world we find ourselves in is a
direct result of choices we have made. If we enjoy the drama of
conflict and upset, then that will show up in our world. If we
believe that we need to fight for what we want, then that struggle
will exist for us.
Or we can bypass the struggle and
choose to eliminate conflict. We can withdraw from any wars and
fights and choose peace.
Our world is not forced upon us by a
chaotic and random universe. We choose it, consciously or
UN-consciously.
I consciously choose peace.
