The Three Elements Of Peace

Not much can change on the global scale,
or even in my community (or even in my house), 
if I’m not thoughtful and intentional about my own personal behavior.
I know that. You probably know that, too. 
But I’d also say, not much can change if I’m not 
thoughtful and intentional in a specific way:
by being a little (or a lot) more generous;
 by committing, and making sure, that nothing I say or do will cause harm;
 and by taking the time, no matter how busy I am,
 and no matter how much the world throws at me,
 to train my heart and mind to be still.
