Thought for Today - Peace

"As our thought so is our consciousness, and as is our consciousness so is our life. Let your first thought of the day simply be peaceful. Plant this seed. Water it with attention and you will gather the calm." ~Thought for Today-UK

"Humanity is like a tree. Each human being is connected with the Seed and belongs to the same tree. The beauty of the tree is that it has different branches and on each branch, numerous leaves. All individuals are also different and have their own role. Think about what we have in common and you will appreciate every human being. This is the key to remain at peace." ~Thought for Today-UK

"It is said that rest is best. Imagine an ocean of peace and silence and plunge into it. Let your mind relax and enjoy moments of tranquillity. Free yourself from wasteful thoughts. This is the best type of rest." ~Thought for Today-UK

"Notice how your senses are connected to your mind. Anything negative they pick up, or generate, will disturb the mind’s workings. To maintain peace of mind, use your eyes, ears, and mouth with care." ~Thought for Today-UK

"Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active state. It requires having constant attention in order to live and to respond as a peaceful being to any upset in life." ~Thought for Today-UK

"The theatre of life has its own script. Each instant is unique. Live each moment as if it were the most important of all. You will enjoy and feel peace. Discover your spirit and the treasure within. Your spirit is full of peace. Your spirit is peace." ~Thought for Today-UK

"There is a silence into which the world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a love you have missed for so long and will always come back to." ~Thought for Today-UK

"There is an ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost." ~Thought for Today-UK

"To be peaceful you have to see yourself as a peaceful being. It means to think about being peaceful. It means that you have to be able to describe it in words. You must be capable of experiencing the feelings you would have if you reached that peaceful state. Now believe in it. If you feel it, it's real. Simply work on it and keep it uppermost in your mind. Make it yours and it will become your natural behaviour." ~Thought for Today-UK

"True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses." ~Thought for Today-UK

"When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day." ~Thought for Today-UK
