Creating a Peace Plan

A financial planner on television had some VERY wise words regarding creating a financial plan that apply soooooooo well to planning Peace. He said, "The past is not a good predictor of the future." Notice he didn't say you can't learn from the past, because clearly you can. He said YOU CANNOT PREDICT THE FUTURE BY LOOKING BACKWARDS.

The future, and Peace, is something we create by IMAGINING FORWARD. And just because Peace has been missing from chunks of history, doesn't mean you and I can't create it more reliably and consistently in the future!

So, this Peace Tuesday, please imagine one thing you can do for Peace, yours and ours. Then forward this imagining by doing one thing to create it; one really big thing or one tiny thing. Either way, Peace wins.

Love,

Darlene
