Bear in Mind
"You can be peaceful no matter what the outer world is doing
and the wonderful irony of this is that what the outer world is doing
will very often be affected by what you are being?
How do you remain peaceful when the world is demonstrating everything but peace?
Loving, when the world is demonstrating everything but love?
Forgiving, when the world is demonstrating everything but forgiveness?
You insist on being who you are no matter what the rest of the world is being.
Slowly, the world you touch will change."
