CULTIVATING INNER PEACE: START HERE

Treat others as you want to be treated.​
Keep it simple. There’s nothing complicated in the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." Why not make this an active practice and consider it as you move through your day?
     Observe and be aware of your thoughts, words and actions. Stop, think, and consider how you would want to be treated in any given situation ... then choose your words and actions accordingly.

• Notice the thought that comes to mind when a driver on the road aggravates you. Would you really want someone to curse you if you had just done that?
• That spider in the tub ... if you were it, would you want a foot to come smashing down on your head? Or a flood of water to come wash you down the drain?

      With every thought, word and action, we have an opportunity to create energies of light and joy, or anger and pain, or anything in-between; it's always our choice. This is, in fact, how we create our life, our experience, and the world we are living in. ​And, it's a big responsibility.

The more we observe ourselves and make conscious choices about what we manifest with our words and actions, the more the peace that is already within us shines through. The more that inner peace shines, the more loving and kind energy radiates from us to bless everyone around us. The more that happens ... well, I think you see ;-).

Be well. Be happy. Be aware.
