Everything comes from within.
Our thoughts, emotions, and actions have an energetic frequency or vibration, which creates our individual and collective reality. Therefore, we must look within to change our world and our experiences.
Jesus said, “The Kingdom of heaven is within.”
The Egyptian Book of the Dead, thought to have been written thousands of years before the Bible, states, “The kingdom of heaven is within you. And whosoever shall know himself shall find it.”
Everything—individual and collective—starts within us. Given this, we can consider:
- Are we carrying peace and love...or division and anger?
- Are we expecting positive outcomes...or something negative to occur?
- Are we looking for joy and fun...or for the proverbial shoe to drop?
- Do we see the world through rose-colored glasses...or through a gray, murky haze?
The answers to these and similar questions create our reality and also contribute to the whole of humanity.
The good news—if you don’t like your current reality, you can change it. Do this by changing your thoughts, your perspectives, your expectations, your actions. It doesn’t have to be an overnight, 360, turn your life upside down kind of change. But each small step—adding more joy into your life, cultivating peace within, giving someone the benefit of the doubt, helping a person in need, finding beauty in yourself and in the world—will make a difference.
And it will impact everyone around you.
“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.”–Scott Adams
When we find peace, love, and joy within, it has a ripple effect that spreads to others. This is the root of the expression, ‘joy is contagious.’ Your peace, joy, beauty, and other positive vibrations ripple out to the collective, benefiting all of humanity.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Be the peace you wish to see in the world.”
Imagine what the world would look like if we all had peace in our hearts and joy in our spirit. What if every single human being had a mindset of celebrating and embracing our differences and learning from one another? Of sitting around the table to work issues out with dignity and respect toward one another and peace in our hearts?
Simply put, the world would be a better place.
Each of us contributes to one another and to humanity as a whole more than we can imagine.
“Every loving word and action create far-reaching ripple effects – like the waves of the ocean.” – Swami Dhyan Giten
