9. Inner Peace

"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others." -- Peace Pilgrim

We can only help make our lives and our world more peaceful, when we ourselves feel peace.

Peace already exists within each of us, if we only allow ourselves to feel its comfort.

Peace of mind begins when we stop thinking about how far we have to go, or how hard the road has been, and just let ourselves feel peace.

Peace of mind gives us the strength to keep trying and keep walking along the path that we KNOW is right for our lives.

The life of a peacebuilder is a daily decision to refocus and rededicate ourselves to put peacebuilding first in our list of priorities.

We refocus and rededicate our lives by allowing ourselves to feel inner peace so that we can once again see our greater purpose and know that our lives as peacebuilders are making a difference. We are part of a movement that has worked throughout history towards humanity's greatest goal - creating a culture of peace.
