Nonviolence begins with learning how to be less violent and more compassionate towards ourselves. We learn by building the courage to speak and act with respect, honor and reverence for our own being.
Eleanor Roosevelt has urged, "You must do the things that you think you cannot do." Practicing these 64 Ways will challenge you to do things that you think you cannot do.

Day 7: Education
Knowledge strengthens your conviction and deepens your
understanding and acceptance.
Martin
Luther King, Jr. said, “We must remember that intelligence is not enough.
Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” The
complete education teaches how to live by the principles which benefit us and
the people around us.
Learn about the power of nonviolence by educating
yourself. Read an article, periodical or
book; watch a video on a subject that relates to nonviolence. Learn about human rights, diversity, ecology,
history, politics, forgiveness, spirituality, peace studies, biographies of
heroes and more.
Today: I consciously
expand my knowledge about nonviolence. I
will share what I have learned with at least three other people, and invite
them to learn, too.
