Peace is our goal, yes? So how do we reach this goal? We can treat it like any other goal – determine what it looks like, create a list of action steps to move us towards it, decide how to know when we have achieved it, and then what? Then we JUST START. In any endeavor, we put one foot in front of the other, and keep on putting one foot in front of the other, focusing only on the current step, and the next thing we know, we have walked a mile!
The good news is that the definition of this goal and the action steps we need are both simple and natural. They are, in fact, the same thing: love. Unconditional love for all life IS the fundamental definition of inner peace, and universal inner peace is the fundamental definition of world peace, so the action step (there’s only one, repeated forever) is love. Love yourself, see yourself as one with all life and loving all life is the automatic next step, so sit down, take a few deep breaths, and give yourself the love that you are. Spend 15-20 minutes just soaking in that love and watch as it overflows into, onto, over, around and through everything and everyone you meet.
Love and blessings,
Rev. Sharri
