SOME SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE

* A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on            past experience

* An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment

* A loss of interest in judging other people

* A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others

* A loss of interest in conflict

* A loss of interest in judging the Self

* A loss of the ability to worry (this is a very serious symptom!)

* Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation

* Contented feelings of connectedness with others and with nature

* Frequent attacks of smiling

* An increased tendency to LET things happen, rather than FORCING them to happen

* An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF INNER PEACE! THIS COULD POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO WHAT HAS BEEN UP TO NOW A FAIRLY STABLE STATE OF CONFLICT IN THE WORLD!

Couldn't resist sharing that here either! I have a copy of it on my nightstand to remind me of what it is I'm working for in myself and in my life.
