How to Stay in your Peace During These Times& Make A Difference

As you well know, lots is happening in the world. Turmoil is rampant in our earth, oceans, economy and governments. As a therapist, I often see the turmoil in so many individuals, couples and families-- and this is in middle and upper class democratic America. Our news of domestic violence, gang murders, drunken driving accidents, shootings in schools never seem to end. The names just change. And now politicians in our government are trying to erase many years of costly fights for women and workers freedoms. To make sense out of this insanity, I perceive all problems and crisis as caused by our fears, and that includes anger, greed, control and abuse. Societies have still not learned that the most important things we have to teach our children are about loving themselves, communicating constructively, dealing with their feelings in healthy ways, and doing unto others want you want others to do unto you. Also, about tolerance of others beliefs and living from integrity and kindness. Schools must include how to be in healthy marriages and raise loving, caring children. When will we wake up to what is really important and what needs to be number one in our priorities, if we want a peaceful, caring world. All I can do is continue to help people to love themselves to peace and share their love and caring with others. Of course, I also need to be a model of good communication and living from integrity. If everyone would transform today to be the loving person they basically are, there would be instant world peace. Since everything is energy, I believe that we can even calm the earth and oceans. Our wonderful advanced technology has not stopped the violence. It is our hearts that need to be advanced much more than our technology, if we are to be in peace. Let's wake-up now and be the best caring people we can be to everyone, including ourselves. Let's make a positive difference in the world. What we do, say, and think does make a difference!
