“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace
Don’t you get frustrated by how difficult we make life in this world? We can all smile, be peaceful and happy. And as Thich Nhat Hanh said, “This is the most basic kind of peace work.”
We can’t let this world distract us. We are still called to live in peace and to be peace. In these difficult times we can’t continue to say “Well I’m not going to do that until others do.”
Don’t let this world get you all riled up. Start your day by writing or speaking “Today will be my peaceful day.” Live by those words. This is the most basic type of peace work and something we can all do.
