Today I feel like a warrior, having to muster the courage to maintain a peaceful inner space despite all the turmoil around me.
It takes a brave person to accept responsibility and make the choice to refuse to engage in the common everyday acts of war; such as, gossip, sarcasm, or quick flashes of anger.
It takes courage to offer compassion to someone who may be acting in an unkind way.
It takes fortitude to stand up for peace during these times of war between men, parties and nations.
It takes strength of character to see oneself connected to someone who might be thought of as an outcast.
It takes moral fiber to forgive an individual that acted cruelly out of ignorance, fear, or pain.
It takes valor to confront our own anger and fears in order to soften our heart, when the inclination is to fight back, allowing peace to flourish.
I am a soldier of peace, taking responsibility for my part in spreading harmony throughout this world.
