What does world peace mean?
Is it actually possible to have world peace?
I believe peace is an inside job.
It is clear war is all about who is right and who is wrong, a strong clear conflict with difference of opinion and values, often difference of religion or perspective on what is right and what is wrong.
Wars can never end by fighting back
It is clear looking through our history war cannot be won through violence.
We focus on war we get more war, but we forget one big thing when it comes to this world we live in, this world goes beyond the physical experience we are having.
Nothing you see ‘OUT THERE’ would be visible or experienced if YOU were not in this world opening your eyes and sensing with your senses.
Close your eyes at night.
You dream, the world vanishes, as far as you know the dream world you are part of at night is the THE WORLD.
You open your eyes and HERE is another WORLD.
Close your eyes it’s gone – once again.
So without you, can you see? There would be no world.
MEDITATE and BUILD YOUR BRIDGES FROM WITHIN
On this day or any day, take some time to be with you, in meditation.
Sit silently, listen to your thoughts, feel your feelings, how many of them are at war ? How many ‘atom criticism bombs’ are you firing towards yourself? How many judgements are you making of yourself and others?
How often do you make yourself right and another wrong? And vice versa.
Meditation is not simply a method for stillness, it is a way in to bringing peace to the conflict of your own inner WAR ZONE.
And knowing this, recognise that war cannot take place in the ‘outer’ without it first being in humanities ‘inner’.
Check out the Peace One Day website to see what other activities you can do on this day to celebrate world peace at PEACE ONE DAY

MAKE PEACE YOUR JOB.
Not someone OUT THERE.
Thanks

- Is Your LOVE Profile Toxic?Since my best friend died in 2023, I’ve been considering my life a lot, my relationships, friendships, and so much more. Grief brings with it a deep sense of loneliness, especially when the one who died was a partner or husband. Michael, while not my husband, was like a husband in many ways. We didn’t…
- Isolation: How To Be Truly Alone When LonelyI’ve had my share of loneliness over the course of my 47 years on Planet Earth. I’ve felt isolated on more than one occasion, but facing isolation without using the old distraction methods is a whole different ballgame. Often, we feel lonely because we want something other than what is. We yearn for people, connection,…
- Empowering Self-Awareness: What’s Right About Me?After nearly a year of doing inner child work and shadow work, there are some issues that can feel like hooks that I struggle to change. Shadow-work and inner child work aren’t some new age concept where you do a quick look in a meditation and then pop out again or where you find a…
- Being Authentic : Give Yourself Permission To Be BadAs a recovering people-pleaser and recovering co-dependent person, it came as a shock to realise that to overcome and move forward beyond these patterns, I have to give myself permission to be bad. What does this mean? Most of us are programmed early on that to be a ‘good’ person, we need to be or…
- Are You Scared To Be Authentic?The deeper we go into inner child work and look at the shadow, the more layers appear to be brought into the light. As a recovering people-pleaser, I’ve spent most of my life being whatever was needed ‘for other people’. Why did I do this? Anything we do that is against our natural flow is…
- Do You Need To Be Needed?This post came about after talking with a friend about someone in my life who I find quite draining now. Someone who, when I am around, really has no personal engagement—a sense of a death friendship rather than an alive and invigorated friendship. I spoke about this a little in a recent post. My friend…
