"Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me."
How often I think that if only he/she/they/it would stop troubling me, life would be peaceful! How often I entertain that thought without even questioning it!
But at its core, that thought is a blame-based, victim-based habit. I'm pointing mental fingers at someone or something as the cause of my dis-ease. Three fingers, when one points, are usually pointing back at oneself.
Let there be peace on earth today, and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth today, and let it begin with me.

You are wise to heed this lesson. For my life to be peaceful I have to look at my own stuff and get myself in a good place. No one elses job, just mine. I so want peace on this planet. Don't you?
And with me. xx
may you find your peace...
Beautifully said. And peace be with you!
To learn peace, teach peace.
So true....and let it begin with me as well....i need to read this post everyday! :-)
Amen to that. Changing the way I think is the only path to sustainable inner peace and happiness. And inner peace will eventually transform itself into outer peace too. Thanks for the reminder. - G

Let it begin with me, as well.
Beautifully written, very succinct...I hope you will find peace today!
I can let it begin with me. Thanks Chris.
I will stop being troubled, when I stop troubling myself. And only then may I allow peace to begin with me...Lovely message!
