A smail can change the world. I smile at everyone I see. I know when someone I know smiles at me it makes me feel Fab so I pass on the feeling to others.

I always feed the local birds in my area. I enjoy the fact that they know they can fly in my yard and know there is a place for them to eat. Now to me, that is peace.

I try to see myself in another’s shoes before judging them. Often times we get angry over a person’s actions without stopping to figure out why they are acting in such a manner. Compassion and patience in human relations gives room for explanation and peace! :)

I make small notes and write on them “Whoever finds this.. I love you and so does Jesus”.I do not sign my name. I place the notes anywhere from behind a box of cereal at the store, to a restroom sink: anywhere a stranger can find them. I am hoping that someone’s day will be boosted, and make em smile..A reminder there is hope and to never stop having faith.

I try to keep from giving into Road Rage….When someone does something irritating on the road, I try to imagine that for some reason they are in need of an extra prayer that day and send a quick one up on their behalf…it’s so very difficult…I’m hoping it’s making me a better person as well.

Cindi
Mar 24, 2008 at 3:26 pm

Happy Monday! I pray. It feels really funny to talk about oneself. Basically, I try and follow the Dali Lami’s teaching that if your can’t help someone, at least don’t hurt them…..The peace necklace is great looking because it is rustic. I like that look and it is an euphemism for something that is worth working towards,but may leave you looking a little rough around the edges. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

All you have to do is treat the people around you as you would treat a friend. Open doors. Give good directions. Pick up the pen someone just dropped. You’d be surprised how the little things can impact the world around you. At the post office a woman didn’t have enough stamps, I bought the rest she needed. No strings attached. I may never even see her again, but I helped out in a small way.

Tina
Mar 25, 2008 at 1:44 pm

To make the world a more peaceful place? I will definitely greet everyone I see/interactive with with a big smile on my face, and soften my tone no matter how intense the situation is. I will follow my sentences with the magic words (”please”, “thank you”, “sorry to bother you”. They really work magic!) A sense of humour is also indispensable. You’ll be surprise how far some silly laughs will get you!

Kristen Austin
Mar 30, 2008 at 9:26 am

I’ve learned to see the beauty in other people so that others can see the beauty in me. I’ve learned that seeing beauty is a pathway to the truth, and learning more about truth teaches us how to love. Most importantly, I’ve learned that love is a process that starts with looking at others with kindness so the we receive kindness in turn. Kindness is humility, and humility is mercy. Mercy is the root of peace.

Therefore, I find the beauty in every person, even if they’re rude to me or jump ahead of me in line. I realize that making a bad choice is not the same thing as being a bad person. I see that sometimes everyone needs a shoulder to cry on, and I’m not afraid to let other people know that I, too, am human. I forgive so that I can find peace within myself and so that I can give that peace to others.

Peace is a blessing that we can share. I am grateful to the friends who remind me of that, and I hope that I am as good for others as they have been for me. Peace is an everyday journey.

There is a certain intersection in my town that does not have a stop light, and is impossible to cross or to merge into oncoming traffic at. Whenever I come up on it, I slow down, flash my lights and let 2 or 3 cars out.
I don’t now if it makes the world a more peaceful place, but it makes me feel good.

Jessica Harrison

When I am standing in a line and the person behind me is impatient and agitated, I let them go in front of me. I think it can change their whole day and maybe they will do something nice for someone else:)

I have a 23 and a 17 year old which I stress to daily be nice to someone today! Hold a door, help with a package, give someone the 3 cents they need for a purchase, etc. I believe if everyone would show just a little kindness to one person a day…it will spread like wildfire and you just might change someones whole outlook on their day. My favorite thing to do myself is hold a door for a man and I always say…Let me be nice to you! It rattles them and I always get a smile!

Karen F
Apr 8, 2008 at 9:34 am

I used to be very sensitive and had a real hot temper. But as I get older, I find that it hurts me more than anyone else to get all upset over things. Now, if someone is rude, I smile and tell them to have a great day. If something goes wrong in my life, I know it will get better soon. And if all else fails, I have a bowl of vanilla ice cream, with Hershey’s Chocolate syrup, the kind in the can. It’s way better than the syrup in the plastic bottle.

I recently helped a gentleman with his groceries and he made me late for an appointment for talking my ear off! But, the way I looked at it, is that maybe I’m the only one he talks to all day, so…what’s a few minutes lost???

I vote. In my opinion learning what is going on in the world, how we as Americans, as people ALLOWED to vote, and as human beings treat others who live in this world with us. I try to keep my eyes open and my mind in balance. I listen, learn and make my own opinions then vote as my heart and my mind leads me. I also, KNOW for a fact, that others in the world have their own minds and opinions of US and being an American, I want to represent myself in a light that allows me to look at myself in the mirror every night and be proud of the person and heart I show to others.

Not adding to the already excessive human population - which is responsible for environmental degradation, species extinction, increasing lack of access to wild places, conflicts over finite water supplies, food shortages… Sure, science can play a catch-up game for a while, but ultimately, the carrying capacity of this planet is finite. The more crowded we become, the more our quality of life will suffer. The more demand we place on finite resources, the more conflicts there will be to obtain them. Peace among ourselves and with the planet that is our home requires the ability to control our numbers peacefully.

It’s a silly thing but I’ve always done this. Whenever I go to a store or restaurant or someplace and the employee is clearly in a bad mood and not very nice, I consider it a challenge to do or say something to lift her spirits and/or make her laugh and smile. It doesn’t always work but I would say I’m successful 75% of the time. It’s a tiny little thing but it makes me feel good to cheer someone else up.

Be inclusive–discourage us vs them thinking. Invite people you don’t know well, offer to share a ride with someone who often doesn’t come to parties or events. Greet those who have few friends. Always treat clerks with respect and friendliness. Respect others and their opinions, but don’t let anyone be ridiculed personally. And remember, VOTE for candidates who believe in diplomacy and want to listen to everyone not just the privileged or popular!

Peace is something that learned. I have raised my children to be kind to others, listen to others opinions (even if they think they might not agree with them) and lastly be aware of what is going on in the world around them. Small things make big changes, and the biggest change can come from parents!

I choose my words carefully or sometimes don’t speak at all when there’s a possibility it’ll cause conflict or bad karma.
My mother-in-law really bugs me.
She really pushes my buttons.
But by thinking before I speak and
trying to choose the most positive and constructive response,
I can usually stop a family war or drama before it starts.
She’s old and will never change, so I can only control how I respond.

I take a class at a local community college, and when I’m walking on the campus there are lots of strange people to be found. Sometimes they come and talk to me, and regardless if I’m creeped out or not (which, truthfully, I am most of the time) I listen to their stories and what they have to say. Sometimes people don’t have anybody to talk to, and I like to think that by listening to them for a few minutes, I’m helping them in some way.

I’ve found that peace begins with me…being kind to everyone even when it isn’t what you feel like doing, helping others in need even when you are needy, passing up on the tendency to judge others because their lifestyle is so far removed from mine, re-examining myself frequently for stereotypical thoughts or behaviors. Looking for ways to make a difference (however small) in the now.
