THE ORIGIN OF YOUR ACTION

Action is our ability to create the world we want and to engage others in the Dream of the Planet. It is the manifestation of our intent.

In our interactions with others, it is inevitable that sometimes we’ll disagree about the best way to proceed in anything. This is unavoidable in human relationships, and it’s OK. When you take action or engage others with whom you have a disagreement, the most important thing to keep in mind is your intent.

Before taking any steps in defending your position, ask yourself: Am I coming from a place of love or a place of fear? Only when our intent comes from a place of love rather than a place of fear do we create peace in the world and in ourselves.

Practice

With awareness today, notice the intent of your actions. Do you speak and act from a place of love or from a place of fear? You’re more likely to be understood in an argument, and will find reconciliation more quickly, if you can communicate from a place of love.
