When Life gets Hard

"There are many causes that I am prepared to die for but no cause that I am prepared to kill for." -Gandhi

As it inevitably will. You can not let it get you down. In you, in all of us we are capable of achieving and overcoming. When life gets hard, remember this:

Be tolerant

Be peaceful

Reflect

Seek forgiveness, not revenge

Live in Joy

Be part of the solution

Granted there will be times when fast action is essential but know other times when reacting with care and consideration will bring in a much better result.

It is because we're all humans, with the same ambitions and aspirations to raise our family, and to live life to its fullest that we need to work together and live together.

You will see how living in peace means more than living in the absence of violence. Try to cultivate peace in all areas of your life by reducing stress as much as possible. Do not contend.

Choosing to see the wonders of the world is an antidote to violence. Joy brings peace to your life because you're always prepared to see what is good in others and the world, and to be grateful for the wondrous aspects of life. This will radiate outwards from you and multiply in the Universe.

Peace is a constant goal to work towards. It needs Change. In  yourself. So it’s inside you that you need to go to stop violence and become peaceful. In seeking not to harm living beings, to live peacefully, first change yourself, and then change the world.

Be a person who loves every person for who they truly are. Make people comfortable around you, and allow them to be themselves with you. You will see how much more at peace you will be.
