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.

Day 57:SERVICE
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Everybody can be great … because
anybody can serve … you only need a heart full of grace and a soul
generated by love.” How can you serve today?
What really gives value to anything is its usefulness in serving
others. Our life draws its value not from the money we make, or the
prizes we win, or the power we wield over others, but from the service
we give every day to add a little bit more to the happiness of our
family and our community. And when you serve, do it without thinking of
getting anything in return. Do it as a service to the universe, not
reluctantly, but with joy. By doing so, you are a model to others, and
add to a culture of nonviolence.
Today: I will volunteer a minimum of two hours this week with an organization of my choice and share my commitment with at least one person. I will do one thing today to help somebody at home, at school or work, or in my community, and then write a paragraph about the experience.
