“I affirm peace. No matter what seems to be going on around me, I affirm peace. In spite of appearances, I affirm peace. The peace of god is my peace now. I am the peace of god.” -‘Science of Mind Magazine’ , Personal Affirmations
When we touch our finger to a still surface of water, we create a disturbance and there is a ripple. The ripple starts our small and strong just around our finger, and then it stretches outward getting smaller and smaller until it blends back into the surface. I believe that this is like everything else in the universe. Everything starts from within ourselves. If we look inward and are conscious of ourselves, we will be conscious of everything else in the outside world. I believe we first have to realize what we can improve inside to be able to improve the world and what’s around us. For instance, if we have hate in our hearts, we will cause an effect on what’s around us with our negativity and hatred. As an example, one man in our history had much hatred in his heart and learned how to have such a strong energy that he effected the whole world. Millions of people died and we still remember it today as the Holocaust. Hitler learned how to throw a stone into the water instead of just using his finger. In our lives, we should try to learn to do the same, except to use love instead of hate. If we can learn to be a stone and create a large ripple or effect, we can change the world by spreading peace and love. I believe we can have peace wherever we are, in any circumstance. We can be the peace in the world. By using our own methods of finding peace, we can achieve greatness. Meditation, music, art, yoga, reading, and many other good things can help us to attain peace. We do, however, must learn to understand what peace is. Peace is not to be the same or equal, and control is the opposite of peace. To have a heart of peace, you must learn to adapt and make do with what you have. As it says in The Tao, “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.” We have to let go of the need to control to have peace. I hope we can all one day learn to be a ripple of peace in the world, instead of hate and all that apposes love.
