Cultivate peace in your own heart
Before you attempt
To make peace in the world
Trying to change others
Before you have been changed
Is like going on a journey
Without a map
WITHOUT A MAP

Quite often
It is not that which is happening
That harms you
But the story you tell yourself
About that which is happening
Change the narrative
Tell a better story
CHANGE THE NARRATIVE

You love politicians
And hate your enemies
Because you don’t understand
That your enemies are spiritually sick
Like you are spiritually sick
Once you grasp this
You will learn to love your enemy as yourself
SPIRITUALLY SICK

Making more noise
Arguing, debating, and fighting
None of this will bring you
Any closer to the truth
The truth is found
Only in silence
MAKING NOISE

When you are afraid, what part of you is afraid?
When you are angry, what part of you is angry?
When you worry, what part of you is worried?
This part of you is not where God resides
WHAT PART OF YOU
