The Peaceful Warrior

 

When someone hurts us deeply,

we may find it difficult or impossible

to forgive them.

Our hearts may be filled with anger or sorrow.

If we allow this anger to fester within us,

it can spread like a cancer.

Letting go of anger or sorrow in our hearts

will recapture energy that was previously wasted.

This recaptured life energy can be redirected

with passionate focus on activities

that will nurture the divinity within us.

As we water this seed of divinity,

we will be developing our minds, bodies, and spirits.

Pause for a moment, acknowledge the anger or

hurt feelings,

and recite the word “Agape” several times to yourself.

The word agape means unconditional love.

Become a “Peaceful Warrior” in all of your encounters!

And take control of your life with a new pro-active focus.

Expand your circle of influence and concern

by focusing on the thing you can control

and change in your life —

YOU!
