Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Remember that no one can hurt you except yourself. If someone does a mean thing to you, that person is hurt. You are not really hurt unless you become embittered, or unless you become angry and perhaps do a mean thing in return.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
It's very important to get your desires centered so you will desire only to do God's will for you. You can come to the point of oneness of desire, just to know and do your part in the Life Pattern. When you think about it, is there anything else as really important to desire?

Humanity can only improve as people improve. When you have improved your life, you can inspire those around you to want to improve their lives. Remember that a few in harmony with God's will are more powerful than multitudes out of harmony.

I define democracy as control by the people. Slaves are those who allow others to control their lives. Insofar as people succeed in solving their problems fairly and efficiently at a grassroots level, they retain control over their lives. Insofar as they delegate their problem solving to a higher authority, they lose control over their lives.

If you realize that those who do mean things are psychologically ill, your feelings of anger will turn to feelings of pity.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Think about all the good things of your life. Never think about your difficulties. Forget yourself, and concentrate on being of service as much as you can in this world, and then, having lost your lower self in a cause greater than yourself, you will find your higher self: your real self.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
Few find inner peace but this is not because they try and fail, it is because they do not try. . . When your life is governed by the divine nature instead of the self-centered nature you have found inner peace.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
When love fills your life all limitations are gone. The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.
Peace Pilgrim
Image
It isn't enough just to do right things and say right things, you must also think right things before your life can come into harmony.

What people really suffer from is immaturity. Among mature people war would not be a problem - it would be impossible.

World peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it
