Work for peace, but do it from a place of contentment.
LIVING YOUR YOGA: We all want peace, both inner peace and peace in the world. Today chose one act of kindness to self or another, offered from a place of contentment, and you will create peace in that moment.
Contentment is an evasive state, mostly due to our ever changing desires. This makes today's exercise particularly challenging. How do you know if you are content? A good place to start, when working for peace as mentioned above, is checking your motives. Why do you want to bring peace to a situation? Is it a desire for notoriety? Is it spite for the person you've been quarreling with? Or is it genuine, from a pure desire to spread your peacefulness to those around you? If you find your motives less than admirable, turn the focus on yourself and learn to detach from that desire.
