Love, Where Art Thou?

Love and peace are two of the most powerful emotions humans can experience. Unfortunately, it seems that these feelings have become increasingly scarce in the modern world, with chaos and hatred appearing to be on the rise instead. Love and peace mean different things to different people, but each person who truly wishes to spread love and peace should follow this list of practical suggestions for how to bring more love and peace into your own life, as well as into the lives of others you meet along the way! With enough people practicing these suggestions, we can start making real progress toward creating a better world filled with love and peace!

We are all part of the problem

As a collective species, we are responsible for all of these issues. It’s up to us – from a global perspective – to change our ways. We need to look no further than one of our greatest thinkers in recent years, Nelson Mandela, who said: The time is always right to do what is right. While some may read that statement as empty rhetoric, we are seeing its truth play out on a smaller scale with everyday heroes—people just like you and me—every day. It’s time we do something about it before it’s too late.

We Are The Solution

We are many. We are everywhere. And we stand for good. If you feel your voice is not being heard, or that humanity has lost its way, that’s okay. That doesn’t mean you should surrender hope or give up on making a difference in our global community; it just means you need to work a little harder at being heard, so it’s worth looking into ways you can raise awareness of important issues with your own personal approach. Every action counts — no matter how small it may seem. As William Penn said, No man’s life, liberty, or fortune is safe unless governed by justice and reason rather than by force. Being willing to take risks speaks volumes about someone’s dedication to a cause. There will always be people who disagree with your stance — don’t let them break you down; instead, find those who share your values and join forces! And although there will always be obstacles standing in your way, never forget that collaboration is crucial if things are ever going to change for the better.

Our Actions Matter


We all say that our actions matter, but we don’t always act like it. In our day-to-day lives, we often are rude and inconsiderate toward one another. How many times have you cut someone off in traffic or bumped into a friend on purpose because you were in a rush? Yes, of course, it seems silly when taken out of context. But imagine if everyone acted in such ways with each other every day; pretty soon there would be no trust left between us—which is what we need to restore peace and love throughout the world.

Taking Responsibility

An important first step in restoring global harmony is recognizing that each of us—and our individual actions—has a significant impact on others. As individuals, we must take personal responsibility for our impact, both positive and negative. It’s no longer acceptable for us to excuse ourselves from blame or give in to the fear of judgment; we are responsible for creating a culture where anything less than love isn’t tolerated. Peace requires action: Let’s make it happen together. Seriously!

Think About The Impact Of Our Choices

Just as our actions have an impact on others, they have a massive impact on ourselves. It’s so easy to get caught up in all of our daily routines that we forget that every small action has a ripple effect throughout our lives. So take a moment today and reflect on your choices: How do you affect others with each of your decisions? How does making each choice change you? Are you happy with how things are going? What would need to happen for things to feel different? Thinking about these questions will help give you perspective—and a sense of urgency—for taking control over where you want to go next. You can harmonize your approach to life. Make conscious efforts to impact your environment with thoughtful consistent action.

Spread The Message of Peace And Love

Peace begins in our own homes. The state of domestic affairs is largely based on how we interact with each other at home. Love your family members; show them your affection every day, even if it’s in simple gestures like a hug or a kiss on their foreheads when they leave for school. By practicing peaceful actions within our families, we can spread the message of peace and love outside our homes. Practice rightful actions. Actions that perpetuate love, peace, and joy.–MM
