INTENTION
|
Let
us face squarely the paradox that the world which
goes to war is a world, usually genuinely desiring
peace. War is the outcome, not mainly of evil intentions,
but on the whole of good intentions which miscarry
or are frustrated. It is made not usually by evil
men knowing themselves to be wrong, but is the outcome
of policies pursued by good men usually passionately
convinced that they are right.

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

The
smallest deed is better than the grandest intention.

"It is clear that military force and our policy
of preemption are alone insufficient to make us
safe. But help is on the way. Legislation has been
proposed to create a US Department of Peace. In
the propsed Department of Peace it would organize
our present system into one conscious effort to
improve humanity in achieving peace, where true
safety lies."
-- Walter
Cronkite

Our
intention creates our reality.
- Wayne Dyer
By
banishing doubt and trusting your intuitive feelings,
you clear a space for the power of intention to flow through.
- Wayne Dyer

The
intention of this way of life [voluntary simplicity]
is not to dogmatically live with less. It's a more
demanding intention of living with balance. This
is a middle way that moves between the extremes
of poverty and indulgence.

That

If
the single man plant himself indomitably on his

come round to him.

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

“What
is the quality of your intent? Certain people have
a way of saying things that shake us at the core.
Even when the words do not seem harsh or offensive,
the impact is shattering. What we could be experiencing
is the intent behind the words. When we intend to
do good, we do. When we intend to do harm, it happens.
What each of us must come to realize is that our intent
always comes through. We cannot sugarcoat the feelings
in our heart of hearts. The emotion is the energy
that motivates. We cannot ignore what we really want
to create. We should be honest and do it the way we
feel it. What we owe to ourselves and everyone around
is to examine the reasons of our true intent. My intent
will be evident in the results.”

If you're walking down the right path and you're
willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make
progress.
-- Barack
Obama
I
know my country has not perfected itself. At times,
we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and
equality for all of our people. We've made our share
of mistakes, and there are times when our actions
around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

Obama

Change
your thoughts, and you change your world.

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.

"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

He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought

If we were to convince society to strive towards
creating a better world, we would address all of
the problems that endanger our future.
-- Robert
Alan Silverstein
When
we convince the people and the nations of our planet
to make 'striving for a better world' our priority
and shared goal, we will transform our culture of
fear and violence into a 'culture of peace and sustainability.'
-- 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

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

Before
you agree to do anything that might add even the
smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself:
What is my truest intention? Give yourself time
to let a yes resound within you. When it's right,
I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.
--

Winfrey
