Peace

"We experience peace when we are in a state of mental calm and serenity. It might surprise you to notice how infrequently you allow yourself to be free from anxiety. Realizing this is the first step to inner peace. If you wait until all the details of your life are taken care of to allow yourself to experience peace, you will never feel peaceful because there is always something that your mind can grab onto to create anxiety. It is important to consciously set aside your worries and make time to cultivate inner peace. "   (Extract from The Daily Om)

Helping the World

I´d like to share these words about Helping the world which I extracted and adapted from The Daily Om.

Helping the world often takes no more than a moment, just a wish for the world is a beautiful gesture and can be done by even the busiest of people effortlessly. The gift you give each day need not be grand or attention-worthy because the broader benefits  are the same no matter the literal repercussions.

   We make our homes. workplaces, communities, and countries better and brighter when we think positive thoughts that echo outward, give donations of time or money, smile at everyone we meet, and lend those in need of aid our assistance.

   So much negative energy is generated by the suffering, pain and close-mindedness we are regularly exposed to, but we can counteract in a constructive way by thinking and acting altruistically when opportunities to do so arise.

   Once a day, you can affect reality, and you can reap the rewards of knowing that you are making the world a better place, day by day.
