How to bring Peace

When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.
How to bring Peace

Peace. If you have it within yourself like in this quote it is much easier to be at peace with others. Peace is not the only feeling that this rings true for. Love is another one. If you find love within yourself then it is worlds easier to love other people. I had always said that you cannot love another until you love another. Can the same thing be said about peace? Can you live at peace with others if you do not have peace within?

This quote came from The Art of Ancient Wisdom which was originally from the Peace Pilgrim. After reading about who she was she reminds me of others who taught peace while walking a long journey. Mother Teresa, Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, etc.

How to Love Yourself

Eat like you love yourself. Move like you love yourself. Speak like you love yourself. Act like you love yourself.
How to Love Yourself

Can you look into the mirror and say, “I love you” without being conceited? Some have a very hard time doing it.

This quote mentions eating, moving, speaking, and acting in a way that shows you love yourself. But don’t forget that you are a spiritual being who having a human experience and not the other way around.

Your body is your temple that houses your soul so it is very important to take care of that as well.

Love Yourself

If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another. - Buddha
Love Yourself

This quote from the Buddha really ties in with the last post that was written that was named “Love Yourself” as well.

In that post by Wayne Dyer it talks about how that if you truly love yourself then the actions of others won’t affect our emotions and to use forgiveness to help do that.

This quote though states that if you truly love yourself you could never hurt another. So combining these two quotes leaves out everything, doesn’t it?

Buddha’s quote says that if you loved yourself you could never hurt another and Wayne Dyer’s quote says that if you loved yourself you could never feel hurt. I thought it was interesting seeing both of these quotes so I will add it below.

When we love ourselves, we refuse to allow others to manage our emotions from afar. Forgiveness is our means to that end. - Dr. Wayne Dyer

Love Yourself

When we love ourselves, we refuse to allow others to manage our emotions from afar. Forgiveness is our means to that end. - Dr. Wayne Dyer
Love Yourself

Before you can love another you have to love yourself is a common quote too. Wayne Dyer’s quote here suggests that if we truly love ourselves then any negativity thrown our way would not affect us later. It says ‘from afar’ almost giving us permission for others to ‘manage our emotions’ at the moment it happens which I could accept easier.

Is it really possible not to let other people’s actions to not affect your emotions? Right away I want to say no! But then I remember my dad. It seemed nothing bothered him and he always told me to just brush it off and was surprised that I could not do it as easy as him. Does this mean I don’t love myself enough and he did? I know I would find it very difficult to look in the mirror and say ‘I love you’ to myself.

Do you think you love yourself enough to not let others control/manage your emotions? You may think that there are other things that factor in but if you really think about it if you keep simplifying and breaking down the factors you are left with only factors. Love and hate.

I almost forgot about the forgiveness part. If you love yourself you have to allow yourself to forgive. Maybe that goes hand in hand. People, that have difficulty forgiving probably do not love themselves? Do you think this is true?

Unconditional Love

Learn to love without condition. Talk without bad intention. Give without any reason. And most of all, care for people without any expectation.
Unconditional Love

When someone speaks of unconditional love I think of the book I read, “One” by Richard Bach. At one point in the book, they talk about loving someone unconditionally. But the topic of one side of a relationship being physically and emotionally abusive then they both decided that conditions should be applied to love.

It has been said that before you can love another you must love yourself first. I would like to expand upon that and say that you should love yourself more than someone else. That way if you are in an abusive relationship you can leave the abusive relationship because you love yourself more. Someone who is in a relationship and gets dumped will feel pretty badly. Sometimes to the point of suicide. In situations like this, it is very important to love yourself more than the other person because that can be the deciding factor between life and death.

The other part of the quote is there to ensure a happy life for yourself and those around you. Don’t do things for yourself, do it for others. If you continue this behavior you will find that people will do things for you when they realize that you are being selfless.
