Day 62 - Peace

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and remain calm in your heart.

Reflection
  • Martin Luther King Jr. described negative peace as the absence of tension and positive peace as the presence of justice.
  • What does negative peace look like in your community?
  • How can we transform negative peace into positive peace?
Action
  • How can you create peace within your mind and soul?
  • What can you focus on that will bring inner peace?
  • Today, envision areas of unrest transformed into safe havens for all people.
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Jimi Hendrix
“Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding.”
Albert Einstein
“World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.”
Dalai Lama XIV
“Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.”
Ronald Reagan
“You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.”
J. Donald Walters
