Be a Hero for a Better World ... Every Act of Kindness Makes a Difference!
   

THOUGHTS

Every word we speak and every action we make has the potential to change the direction of a relationship. Every moment is an opportunity to build bonds for a better world. The key is to be able to step back and monitor the things we say and do.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

 

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.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

When a moment is carrying your thoughts and emotions somewhere you don't want to go, stop, take a deep breath and slowly whisper "May Peace Prevail On Earth" a few times. This simple phrase will center you, and remind you that you are never alone in your wish for a better world. At any moment many others are sharing this universal wish all across the globe.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

We can only make our lives and our world more peaceful, when we ourselves feel inner peace.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

Peace of mind is not a goal I need achieve.
It's a place inside I never want to leave.
Close my eyes, I still my thoughts and then I say
I will choose to live in peace today.

-- Robert Alan Silverstein

The life of a peacebuilder is a daily decision to refocus and rededicate ourselves to put 'creating a better world' 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 are making a difference. We are part of a movement that has worked throughout history towards humanity's greatest goal - creating a more peaceful, just and sustainable world.
-- Robert Alan Silverstein

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
- Buddha

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
- Buddha

Meditation is not a way of making your mind quiet. It's a way of entering into the quiet that's already there—buried under the 50,000 thoughts the average person thinks every day.
-- Deepak Chopra

That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life consists in what a person is thinking of all day.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.
-- Jane Fonda

 

A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.
-- Mohandas K. Gandhi

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
-- Abraham Lincoln

When I'm getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say--and two-thirds thinking about him and what he is going to say.
-- Abraham Lincoln

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you ride through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!
-- Bob Marley

I remind myself of the power of thought and how it's my obligation as a citizen (and student) of humanity to propel compassion.
-- Alyssa Milano

Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
-- Norman Vincent Peale

Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.
- Norman Vincent Peale

"There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace? If they have not, there is something wrong with them -- so keep seeking! If what you do has brought you inner peace, stay with what you believe is right." -- Peace Pilgrim

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. -- Peace Pilgrim

Keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights. -- Peace Pilgrim

Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound. -- Peace Pilgrim

He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality.
-- Anwar Sadat

"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will."
-- George Bernard Shaw

The world will become what we envision it to be. And if we are fearful, and we think we should tense up and prepare for an ongoing battle, then that's what we'll have. But if we are open and we prepare for promoting dialogue and love, and a better understanding of each other, and tolerance and so forth, that's what the world will become, a more tolerant, loving place. So each individual that stands up is a part of a bigger prayer.
-- Russell Simmons

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
-- Henry David Thoreau

Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be.
-- Henry David Thoreau

Thought, word, and deed are the three levels of creation.
~ Neale Donald Walsch
