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 63: RELEASE
A Sufi proverb says “when the heart weeps for what it has lost, the
spirit laughs for what is found.” Release the weight of your past, the
judgments of yourself and others, and be the change you wish to see.
Make room for what is here in this present moment, release the hurts
and resentments and mistakes of the past and be present to the
nonviolent presence you are right here right now. In the presence of a
man or woman in whom all hostility has been released, others cannot be
hostile. In the presence of a man or woman in whom all fear has been
released, no one can be afraid. This is the power of true nonviolence,
as we can see in the life of Gandhi. Because he had released all
hostility, he was a profound force for peace. Today: I reflect back on how far I have come during this 64 day journey. I release the idea that World Peace is not possible by acknowledging that I really do make a difference. Say out loud, “I DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”
