The way of peace is to make peace the feeling prayer in every cell of our body and on all seven levels of our lives. At the same time, it requires us to commit to one genuine step at a time, to commit to actions we feel in our hearts that we can honestly make and sustain. To set goals for changes in ourselves that are beyond our capacity can lead to confusion and discouragement for ourselves and for those to whom we have made the commitments. For us to become peacemakers, we need the holy intention and self-will to overcome our own inertia, fear, and apathy toward creating peace. Our job, then, becomes to inspire people out of their apathy toward peace, to dispel ignorance, to overcome our subtle disbelief and fear of the experience of peace, to start every thought and action with love, compassion, and peace, and to bring this love and peace to every situation the best we can. To create peace in our own lives, our beliefs and the way we live must come into alignment. In this way we create peace by being peace.
