An Opportunity to Wage Inner Peace

So much in our world is charged and active. So many things going on to see and do. We live in such excited times and there are so many opportunities to connect and communicate with each other. The dualities of our world can be seductive and easy to fix our attention on. You, me, them and us; opposing sides have historically been easily drawn. Choosing sides can seem the natural and right thing to do. What we prefer or agree with may be clear to us or not. But there is another way. When we seek balance in our lives we have the opportunity to love all possibilities. Drawn to what we enjoy while respecting what others find dear can be a lifestyle. It is not for everyone, just those of us that truly seek peace.

World Peace is easy enough when the 100th monkey seeks peace as well, but today our true task is only to seek peace within ourselves. Who knows, we may be the one to inspire that 100th monkey and therefore be a step to world peace. If nothing else we can create peace in our own world.

Peace, personal peace and world peace, all opportunities for each of us. Getting our own house in order first we have the opportunity to inspire others and find peace in our world.

Wage inner peace my friend,
and offer the rewards to all that you meet.
