Finding Peace Within

Peace on Earth is found in several places, but unfortunately not everywhere. With all of the wars, climate change and crime around the world, peace seems out of reach for many.

How can we help those that live in places where peace does not reach them? How can we help them feel the peace that we may feel where we are living?

That question becomes harder and harder to answer as time goes by, but the age-old truth of finding the peace within ourselves and extending it outward towards others seems to stand the test of time. If we want to begin to help bring peace to the world, we have to maintain peace within our own.

Sometimes it's more simply said than done. Sometimes peace may seem hard to see, even within the peaceful parts of the world we may live in. But, if we look deep within, we can always see a flicker of peace there, just brewing. It’s always there when we need to be reminded that all is well. It is always there when we need to be reminded that we are safe.

So, if you want to help those that need peace around the world, go within and make sure you yourself are peaceful first. Peace begins with the individual, extends out to our local communities and then around the world.
