A loving and kindly approach works between individuals, it works between groups and it would work between nations if nations had the courage to try it. Peace Pilgrim More Quotes by Peace Pilgrim More Quotes From Peace Pilgrim If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. Peace Pilgrim trustpositiveinspirational The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things. Peace Pilgrim mulling-overearthlove It's the one who doesn't know it can't be done who does it! Peace Pilgrim doneknowsdoe For those of you who are seeing the spiritual life, I recommend these four daily practices: Spend time alone each day in receptive silence. When angry, or afflicted with any negative emotion, take time to be alone with God. (Do not talk with people who are angry; they are irrational and cannot be reasoned with. If you or they are angry, it is best to leave and pray.) Visualize God's light each day and send it to someone who needs help. Exercise the body, it is the temple of the soul. Peace Pilgrim practicespiritualexercise If only you could see the whole picture, if you knew the whole story, you would realize that no problem ever comes to you that does not have a purpose in your life, that cannot contribute to your inner growth. When you perceive this, you will recognize that problems are opportunities in disguise. If you did not face problems, you would just drift through life. It is through solving problems in accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained. Peace Pilgrim growthlightopportunity Know that you are God's beautiful child, always in God's hands. Accept God... accept God's protection... there is really no problem to fear. Know that you are not the clay garment. Know that you are not the self-centered nature which governs your life needlessly. Know that you are the God-centered nature, The Kingdom of God within. The Indwelling Christ. Eternal and indestructible. Identify with the real you. Peace Pilgrim realbeautifulchildren Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.

And then take a further step and use all that energy that you used in condemning yourself for improving yourself. After that I really started to get somewhere - because there's only one person you can change and that's yourself. After you have changed yourself, you might be able to inspire others to look for change. Peace Pilgrim forgivingenergyinspire Worry is a useless mulling over of things we cannot change. Peace Pilgrim mulling-overuselessworry I no longer become angry. I not only do not say angry words, I do not even think angry thoughts! If someone does an unkind thing to me I feel only compassion instead of resentment. Even upon those who cause suffering I look with deep compassion, knowing the harvest of sorrow that lies in store for them. If there were those who hated me, I would love them in return, knowing that hatred can only be overcome by love, and knowing that there is good in all human beings which can be reached by a loving approach. Peace Pilgrim compassionlyingthinking If you are harboring the slightest bitterness toward anyone, or any unkind thoughts of any sort whatever, you must get rid of them quickly. They are not hurting anyone but you. It isn't enough just to do right things and say right things - you must also think right things before your life can come into harmony. Peace Pilgrim bitternesshurtthinking There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace? Peace Pilgrim umpiresjudgingthinking When love fills your life all limitations are gone. The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.
