When will there be peace?

I sometimes ask myself "When will there be peace?"

Peace does not necessarily mean quiet.

Peace is not staying silent and complying

Peace does not necessarily mean isolation 

Peace means participating

When you are peaceful within-you maintain a content attitude and disposition

Stay calm amongst the chaos and negativity that surrounds you

Not to say that you are naive 

But you don't focus your energies into creating more adversity

Peace is not letting negativity consume or control you

Peace starts from within

Fueled by the resources of Optimism and Positivity

It can be radiated

And be infectious

Starting with a simple smile or "hello" to a stranger

I strive to send positive vibes to all who I encounter

Smiling is a universal language known to all

Random acts of kindness, gratitude and happiness can lift a person's spirit

You'd be surprised with what power words of encouragement hold

When we have clear communication to avoid misunderstandings, there will be peace

When we put our egos aside, and provide mutual respect for one another, there will be peace

Eliminating manipulative tactics and instilling compassion and nonviolence to achieve our means we will be intelligent

Love. 

The strongest of all forces that compels us to do

To make.

To create.

To inspire.

Peace is keeping your good-natured heart away from becoming bitter

Peace is freedom from all that tries to hinder your spirit
