Choose peace
Peace is possible for you, here, now. Peace settles into you when you allow it.
The situation is stressful, the challenges pile on. Even so, peace waits quietly, reliably, for whenever you decide to let it be.
Plenty of forces in your life and in the world at large act to discourage and impair peace. And though you must acknowledge and deal with that reality, you can choose to be peaceful nonetheless.
Your own sense of peace does not magically make everything perfect. What it does, is enable you to act with purpose, intention, kindness, clarity and effectiveness.
Peace is a good place to come from and a good place to go. Peace is not everywhere, but you can make sure it’s always somewhere.
When you need it most, when others can benefit, or just because you can, choose peace. And go confidently forward in its power.
— Ralph Marston
