Season of Nonviolence - Day 42

Welcome to Day 42 of the Season of Nonviolence – 64 Days of peaceful wisdom honoring the lives and nonviolent principles of Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Cesar Chavez.

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 42: ACCOUNTABILITY

In conflicting situations, personal accountability allows me to take responsibility for how I contribute to a conflict.  I can then make a different choice that can lead to a peaceful resolution. 

Today:  I will be accountable for my words today.  I will make a list of the thoughts I think and the words I speak that are violent.  Every time I become aware of my violent thoughts or words, I will say to myself “delete” and start again.
