You can choose to be peaceful right here and now ... it has nothing to do with what other people do or think.
Gerald JampolskyPeace of mind comes from not wanting to change other, but by simply accepting them as they are. True acceptance is always without demands and expectations.
Gerald JampolskyThere would be very little to dislike in other people if we refused to bring to them all of our own judgements and petty grievances.
Gerald JampolskyWhen we think we have been hurt by someone in the past, we build up defenses to protect ourselves from being hurt in the future. So the fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one. We cannot love when we feel fear.... When we release the fearful past and forgive everyone, we will experience total love and oneness with all.
