Hatred is the result of ignorance and fear, such a powerful emotion. Like a volcano hatred erupts and yet it comes from the same place as love, from deep within. Turning down the volume on hatred allows the more powerful sounds of love to be heard, the lilting strains of another possibility. If more people actively sang songs of love the chorus of hate would soon be drowned out, for as powerful an emotion as hatred is love tops all.

Stir up some love today. Let it seep out into every thought, act, and emotion. Sing of love, even if you think you can’t, and become part of the changing world that really does need love, right now!

A peaceful planet will only be a possibility when the non-peaceful no longer exists, when segregation, hatred, greed, and ugliness toward others are eradicated. Teach peace not war. Teach compassion. Teach love. Teach kindness. It’s that simple.

Yes, evil exists; it is a fact, but it will have no power if mankind disengages from it totally. Peace and love are powerful allies, engage in them instead. Do not only teach them but fully embody peace, love and total acceptance of all beings and the world will be a better place. Look not beyond the self to solve the problem, become the loving peaceful change you seek.

To live a life of grace and humbleness is to live a life steeped in goodness of heart. What more than goodness of heart could you want? Goodness of heart fully expressing loving kindness to all beings, of course! And a wish that all beings may experience love and be loving as well, for there is not love enough expressed in the world, nor will there be peace until there is.

Be attentive to the self, even in the midst of attending to others. There is no sense in creating situations where your energy is compromised. A warrior’s main concern is always with energy, protecting it, maintaining it, and rejuvenating it.

You can only do so much for another being. A warrior knows this, and so a warrior gives unconditionally but never to depletion. A warrior is kind and loving, but a warrior needs nothing in return and so a warrior is free to return to the warrior’s work once obligations are met. A warrior’s life is concerned with gathering enough energy to do what comes next. So watch your energy at all times.

A warrior remains focused no matter what occurs or interrupts. Others may not be so in-tune with what is truly right or truly practical and yet a warrior does not find fault or neglect in others but stays intent. Without judgment, a warrior always find a way to smooth through rough spots so that transitions may be uncomplicated events in their unfolding.

To be a warrior is to always walk a path of heart with love, kindness and compassion. No matter what arises in the scheme of things, a warrior knows that there is no other path that is truly right.
