In the New Year …

January 1, 2015 by still a dreamer

EarthPlanet-space2As 2015 begins, a song crosses my mind whose first two lines are, “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.” This is not a new thought; it has been taught and shared for centuries in one form or another by those well-known and those far less well-known. Who doesn’t want peace on earth?

This wonderful gift begs a question … what are we, as individuals, doing to help create peace on earth? To fight hunger, eliminate poverty, and expand kindness to all beings on the planet? How are we consciously working to change our own thoughts to those of greater tolerance, forgiveness and understanding? What efforts are we making to behave in accordance with those thoughts?

Our troubled world needs our help more than ever, and peace does begin with me and with you. It’s never too late to make our own contribution; 2015 seems like a perfectly wonderful time, does it not?

My wishes for a happy and enlightened New Year to you!

    Jeanne, the way I see it is we only have control over our own thoughts and actions. We can try to influence those who don’t have a good agenda, but ultimately, I believe it’s in God’s hands.

      We do only have control over our own thoughts, but the more of us who elevate and enlighten our thoughts, the greater the change in everything around us. It is not so much trying to influence others as being the change we want to see.
