What Kind Of World Do You Deserve To Live In?

What kind of world do you deserve to live in?

What kind of world do you desire to live in?

Is your world living up to your expectations?

These are some of the questions I find myself asking .

I think I deserve to live in a beautiful, peaceful world. And I think you do too.

What kind of world do I desire to live in?

I desire to live in a world where I can drink clean water, eat nourishing, healthy food and breathe clean air.

I desire to live in a world where I have access to warmth, shelter and safety.

I desire to live in a world where I can feel safe and secure. A world where I have the right to be happy, and healthy!

I desire to live in a world where everyone has the right to peace of mind and the freedom to choose their thoughts.

What kind of world would that be to live in?

I am lucky! For the most part, the world I live in is a world where I am content. I have warmth, shelter, clothing, safety, security, food, water, clean air, and most of all freedom. Freedom of choice. To go where I want to go, do what I choose to do, and be who I want to be. My material needs are met. My home is my haven, and my family is my love and security.

One freedom that is available to us all, regardless of our circumstances, is the freedom of thought, choice and action. No-one can decide what you choose to think about, to feel, to act upon or not act upon. These are personal choices. Universal and unique to each and every one of us.

I cannot choose what you decide to think about and feel, any more than you can decide for me. Isn't that great?

YOU HAVE THE POWER!!!

Choose your thoughts wisely, and choose to create a world you love to live in.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

The People-for-Peace blog has been established to help bring peace to the world, one person at a time.

I live in South Africa. It is a beautiful country, with beautiful people, but it is not the most peaceful place in the world.

Every day, lives are shattered in the wake of violent crime.

With this blog, I hope to create an awareness, an intention and an action among the people of South Africa to stamp out crime in our beautiful country and create a climate of peace.

We all deserve peace, wherever we live in this world.

My question is this: Where does peace start? Do you have peace within you?

I invite you to set your intention to start bringing peace to your world, wherever you may be. Peace to your home. Peace to your relationships. Peace to your street, your town, your city, your country. Peace in you. Because it all starts with you and I. We can choose peace, and we can help to create it. One person at a time.

Thank you for spending this time with me. I hope you will visit again soon, as I continue to share my stories and my thoughts about how together we can create a better, brighter, more peaceful tomorrow. One person at a time!
