How Long-lasting peace is possible

I heard peace is not possible.  There is no revolutionary technique which can bring peace.  I am thinking about how peace is possible. Peace means no fighting, no conflict. We all love happiness. I believe all people are good and  every one has the capacity to be kind.

I think peace is possible through tolerance. Some of the peace quotes that I liked most are here. Hope you too enjoy that.

“Peace is the music of every heart. Our glory lies in understanding, listening and honoring that music.” — Amit Ray

Tolerance is the essence of peace lily. A peace lily appears to have large flowers composed of a single petal. Peace lily flowers are long-lasting. Well-adapted to the high heat and low-light. It tolerates a temperature range between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace. — Thich Nhat Hanh

We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion. — Mother Teresa

Realize the depth of the moment

Why to live in the present moment? Past has so many glories and future has so many invitations. I love to live in my dreams of the future because it gives joy. I want to learn from my past mistakes. I want to set my goals every moment. Is it necessary to live in the moment? However, all the great masters of the past and the present world advised for present moment living. I am in search of the glory of the moment. I want to realize the depth of the moment.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this. — Henry David Thoreau

If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath. — Amit Ray

 

Live today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don’t rent them out to tomorrow. Do you know what you’re doing when you spend a moment wondering how things are going to turn out with Perry? You’re cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you’re stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It’s now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you , but now you’ll never know.  —  Jerry Spinelli

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life. – Eckhart Tolle

Learning to dance in the rain

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. I love golden clouds. As a child I would lay in the grass and imagine the fluffy white clouds as the gates to heaven… beyond which, the wonder of the universe was endless.   And sometimes… they just looked like an umbrella or an ice cream cone. Nature’s scribble pad for me to browse through for hours on end. The sight of a storm can be both beautiful and ominous. The clouds are like marble in the sky. The blue sky matched with the blue in my eyes.

I Believe in Miracles

Fear wanted to knock me down but I believe in Miracles and Miracles helped me to come out of the fear. I am worried about my mom. On the surface my mom appears to be more violent and aggressive but I know she is not like that. My mom is a real fighter. She loves to fight for big causes. Recently I noticed that my mom is experiencing a dramatic shift in consciousness. As with all change  I have to let go of the old before the new ways realized.

Love and Kindness of my Mom

I need to change my attitudes and perceptions. I know pain is a sudden hurt that can’t be escaped. It feels like a stab wound in the heart. I realized that the only person who can pull me up is my mom, and I’m not going to let my mom down anymore. Miracles has given me my mom and I know Miracles will help me to come out of the fear. I love you mom!

People who are crazy can change the world

My mom said, you must look life through a magnifying glass. You must open your hands  to catch the galaxies. My momma said “never focus your energy on small things – always expand your horizon.”  I know my  mom is a worrier. She is a fighter but I am not. She has a deep love for me.  My mom said ” To change the world, you have to be crazy.” But I am a small element in this vast ocean. I asked her “Do I need to change the world?” My mom said “You must change the world, otherwise world will change you.”

Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.”  ― David Mitchell
