Thought(s) 4 the Week (W-End Edition): On #Peace

Our team settled on this compilation of thoughts courtesy of Jonathan Huie & his team especially in light of all our World has been witness to in Qatar, North Korea, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. etc. etc--to aim to create a "Vision of the Possible"!!!  

 We can, shall and will overcome!!  

When you find peace within yourself,
you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.
- Peace Pilgrim

It's not the situation that's causing your stress,
it's your thoughts,
and you can change that right here and now.
You can choose to be peaceful right here and now.
[Inner] Peace is a choice,
and it has nothing to do with what other people do or think.
- Gerald Jampolsky

If in our daily life we can smile,
if we can be peaceful and happy,
not only we, but everyone will profit from it.
This is the most basic kind of peace work.
- Thich Nhat Hanh

We here at the Daily Outsider respect the work done by the team at Ozy Media.   We were particularly impressed as they featured a story on Iran--Somalia is also just as fun to read about--and they have 25 Million Reasons to be proud of their accomplishment.   It is all about creating a different vision to as they say, stay interesting.
