Pray for Syria

So often people pray that war does not come to their shores yet we often don't pray for those who are living in the very hell we want to avoid. These people share the same hopes & dreams and are no better than any of us.

This is where people are living in encampments, where children are being raised, where livelihoods has been lost. These are smart, kind and friendly citizens who want & deserve their freedom now more than ever.

So today I ask, no matter your faith or lack thereof, that you keep Syria in your thoughts. Do not think of it negatively as a faraway place where war is occurring but as a place that will know peace again. A place that will be known for freedom, justice and stability. 

Please pray for Syria.

Love Everyone

Loving people of the same race, class, gender or religion is a safe place for many but it does not bring true unity but instead builds walls. These are not always walls of hatred but nevertheless they do successfully separate you from them.

Spread your warmth & goodwill to all you see be it a smile, holding the door or offering your assistance in some way. They don’t have to take your help & they may even be rude but the more you share your light with others the faster you will tear down that wall.

It's Time to Stop Judging & Start Learning

For those who stick to a life of sameness consciously or otherwise they lack a real understanding to the world around them and that is not just sad for them but actually limits their personal growth, as well as, the growth of the world around them. The simple act of asking “Why?” and shedding any preconceived notions shines a beacon into a world previously unknown to you. This word is the foundation to personal learning and the bridges sometimes great divides and yet it is incredibly undervalued. We supplement it with indifference, fear of the unknown and what we think we know and increasingly violence. 

I encourage you to rekindle your curiosity, to shed your preconceptions and to greet those you know and don’t know with a smile. At a time full of war, terrorism and social injustices this is not when we should retract inward but when we should extend ourselves further. This is a time to be more open, to ask questions and to be kind because at the end of the day we are chasing the same dream. To live a fulfilling life full of happiness, financial security and personal fulfillment.

Have a beautiful day.

Now is the Time

I truly hope this resonates with you and I hope you comment & join me. Below are verses of peace from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism & Taoism speaking about the Golden Rule. This universal truth, while in the books many hold precious, is fighting for its life as  entities are exerting their power in fearful, malicious ways.

If these posts bring joy to you please like & share them with your friends. No matter your race, religion or gender I encourage you to be the light for yourself & others and together we might overcome this darkness.
