About love and compassion, mercy and understanding

Many times, while reading the news, the conclusion is that our world has turned into a very dry place…

So, would you try to use a bit of water of love? Just give other people something: a smile, a kind word or an object wrapped with good intentions.

Maybe a bit more water: the water of compassion. Embrace the other one – it could be physically or spread your warmth around the other person, telling them I am here for you.

More and more water… this time the water of mercy. Like a nurse, help others in their healing, by tirelessly offer them something special – maybe your role as mother, your capacity as an engineer or your ears as a friend.

But it is the last water that will make all your effort fruitful: the water of understanding. With understanding, forgive and open new doors of opportunity for people; with understanding, change the best you can and help others in their own change, and with understanding, help the world.

Why should you meditate for the world?

We should do many things for the world and there are several lists that include:

• To be honest with others.
• To be always caring.
• To recycle, to reuse and to avoid buying more things.
• Etc.

But it is not common to find to meditate as one of the important things to do for the world. And yet, it is very important.

Let’s check the former list:

• To be honest with others will help in creating a better community; it will improve relationship and stimulate your professional career.
• To be always caring will not only give someone else a feeling of inner comfort, but it will also open your heart, which will impact your relationships with others too, strengthening the community.
• To recycle, to reuse and to avoid buying more things is not only the right thing to do, to help earth and its resources; it will also help you to save money and to have a better life.

So, to meditate… what will happen to you and to the world?

First, you will feel good… meditation gives a wonderful inner feeling and it improves your mood and state of mind.

Second, by meditating you generate an atmosphere around you, due to the vibrations of peaceful thoughts. So, anyone who comes to you takes benefit of your meditation and they will also experience peace in their minds.

Third, when you meditate to the world, your thoughts travel and touch many people’s minds, bringing peace to them. It is as if your room has extended itself and covered the whole world…

The world needs peace more than never… It is everyone’s turn to send a drop of peace through meditation.

In the quest for a better world

It may sound frivolous to talk about a new word when this world – our world – is kind of crumbling down… But this is the best and the right time for it, because a new world can replace the old structure we lived for so long.

The basis of a better Earth comes from the idea that something is not quite right about the world we live. However, we often forget we are the ones responsible for this world as it is… that means until we change something in our mindset and deep behavior, whatever we create will turn to this again.

Maybe instead of looking for a building a better world, we should build a better ME. Not because I am not OK, but because I can be better.

As soon as I am better, naturally I will inspire a few others to improve too.

And those few will inspire other few… and maybe one day, that wonderful world will come up from this personal transformation.

 

What are you waiting to be the better version of yourself?

A better world

Everything we do is related to a better world we want to create. When we build a new building, a house or just take a child to a school, our best hopes is that will create a better world.

Of course, a better world will have economy, social structure and science operating. It is part of human civilization to have a culture, customs and ideas to share among all. That means to create a better world is to create a better economy, a better social structure, a better science, better culture, better customs and better ideas...

The implication is that it is something difficult, even impossible. As an individual I can't see how I am contributing for that, we can never forget the effect we have on each other. In a subtle and obvious way, we influence others through our behavior, reaction, gestures, ideas, thoughts, vibrations, feelings and words. In this way, we help direct others towards a better world, or to remain in this old and worse world (after all, that is the implication of creating a better world...).

I feel personally that all of us could be in heaven right now. If we share what we have, if we help each other... but then I remember the only thing I can do is to create a better me and I start doing all of that.

Yes, a better world won't be created by a coup d'état or some marvelous invention. Many better people working with that aim in mind, they will generate a better world.

So, why not starting right now? From your mind and thoughts, from your vibration and feelings, from a smile and a phone call to someone, from recycling and using resources in a better way... We can start right now. I, you, can start right now.

Let's do it.
