I Have the Power

Looking back, over my 50+ years, one thing becomes apparent.

Every time I am at peace, the people around me seem more peaceful, as well.

At the “Secrets to Peace” retreat, this last Sunday, Calvin brought up the point that as we continue to meditate, we begin to change. As we change, so do those around us.

We have all felt this. The more joy-filled and peaceful we are, the more we notice everyone around us being friendlier; the more people seem happy to see us.

By changing who we are, and how we interact with the world; we set everyone around us free to be in their own truth.

It is an interesting paradox that we can try, our entire lifetime, to change those around us, only to learn that we can not; yet the moment we focus on changing ourselves, everyone around us begins to change.
