Why your inner peace will change the world

Is there a part of you that likes to secretly eavesdrop?

I certainly have one!

If you feel the same way, here's a provocative little conversation where you can be a fly on the wall:

Wise Human: Do you think global peace is possible?

Young Grasshopper (also a human - don’t let the title of grasshopper lead you astray): Mmmm…. Yes? I think so.

Wise Human: I see. I admire your optimism. Would you say you’re peaceful in all of your relationships?

Young Grasshopper: Ha ha ha! No - definitely not. 

WH: Not even in your own family?

YG: Nope. Some of those relationships are the most challenging. There are people in my family who really push my buttons.

WH: If you don’t feel peaceful in your most intimate relationships, how could you ever hope for global peace?

YG: Good point. 

WH: What about your relationship with yourself?

YG: What about it?

WH: Do you feel peaceful about yourself most of the time? Some of the time? Rarely? Do you feel relaxed and calm, even in chaos? Or do you feel stressed out more often than not?

YG: Huh… I never thought about it that way. Say more.

WH: Do you get triggered easily? React to things people do or people say? Feel angry and don’t know what to do with it?

YG: Yep. All of those things.

WH: Here’s the thing and listen carefully. If we want to work toward global peace, the place we need to start is with ourselves. That’s the fast track. 

YG: Hmm. I can see that. 

WH: Same thing with fear. If we can learn to have more inner peace than anger or fear, we’re most of the way there because your inner experience becomes your outer experience. 

YG: That’s amazing! I always thought global peace was something other people had to do. I didn’t know I was involved.

WH: You sure are. Every single person who cultivates more peace on the inside has a global impact. 

YG: I feel so empowered! 

*Cue sentimental music. Strings probably. 

YG: Thank you for showing me the way of inner peace.

WH: You’re welcome.

And they walk off together into the sunset with crickets chirping and a flock of well-placed geese flying overhead as the first star makes an appearance. Actually, it would probably be doves to go along with the peace theme. Do doves fly in flocks? I’m not sure but for our purposes, let’s go with yes. 

THE END

The Moral

You can indeed make a difference! To yourself, in all your relationships and on a global scale. Wowee, right?!?

In keeping with the Inner Peace theme, I’m sharing a U2 song that feels applicable called Get Out of Your Own Way. I love to sing along and harmonize to this one. As with so many U2 songs, the lyrics are great food for thought.
