Unity Project: January - Peace and Harmony

We are at the very begining of a new year...again.  I'm feeling that it will be a very special one.  Lots of souls are ready for a change to Peace and Harmony.  More and more humans are concerned about the sake of our Planet Earth.  Let's make this year the One, where we will see all the changes we want to see.  The One where we will be the change that we want to see.
 
From a wonderful website: www.seasonsfornonviolence.com, I found beautiful sentences that will lead us to that change that we want to see and be (you can go to the site and click on subscribe to get a quotation every day!)
 
Have a ONEderful 2010!

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe.
     -Eckhart Tolle

Practice: Today I practice cultivating the kind of deep inner stillness that allows me to know that I have connected with my Self. It is from this place that I seek to connect with others.

May I know that my peace and the world's peace are not separate.
     -Maylie Scott

Practice: For the world's sake, I make my own peace of mind a priority today.

Condemnation does not liberate but oppresses.
     -Carl Gustav Jung

Practice: Today I will not confuse liberty of speech with freedom of spirit.

It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
     -Paulo Coelho

Practice: Today I do not try to convince or coerce others to SEE THE LIGHT.  After all, it IS possible that they are already seeing their own!

Forgiveness is primarily for our own sake, so that we no longer carry the burden of resentment.
     -Jack Kornfield

Practice: If  I have been betrayed or abandoned or rejected or disappointed, carrying the weight of resentment can only compound my suffering. Today, as I release resentment, I lay my burden down.

One of the most debilitating traps we fall into in life is the cycle of blame and defensiveness.
     -Jill Nelson

Practice:
I blame you...you stiffen and shut down.
You blame me...I put on my boxing gloves.
How can this be a recipe for healthy relationship?
Today I consider the long-term consequences of abdicating responsibility.

The judgment of others does not change who I am. Quite the opposite is true.
     -Terry McPhearson

Practice: Today I am willing to own that my opinions and assumptions, my judgments and assessments, my likes and dislikes say way more about me than they do about the object of my judgment.

We are all One.
