PARADIGM SHIFT: How Deliberate Creators Propagate Peace

PARADIGM SHIFT: How Deliberate Creators Propagate Peace
--------------------------------------------------------
by Elyse Hope Killoran


1. You'll know that you are Deliberately Creating Peace when...

you feel guided to take your focus off the external world.
Deliberate Creators know that we are, at all moments, creating
our future. Some of us are doing this creating 'deliberately'
while others, by getting caught up in the swirl of events that
surround us, are doing this creation 'by default'.

Which do you choose - to create deliberately or by default?


2. You'll know that you are Deliberately Creating Peace when...

in relationship with others, you strive to bring the focus to
areas of harmony and agreement instead of conflict and discord.
Deliberate Creators appreciate that what we resist, persists and,
therefore, make thoughtful determinations of where attention
should be placed.

Which relationships in your life could benefit from a short time
spent focusing on areas of agreement?

What in the world would you like to see expand?


3. You'll know that you are Deliberately Creating Peace when...

you let go of the idea that you can only feel peaceful when
everything around you is going a certain way and, instead,
recognize that you have the power within you to choose to
experience peace.

Who have you allowed to destroy your sense of peace?


4. You'll know that you are Deliberately Creating Peace when...

you notice that, when someone 'pushes your buttons', instead of
expending your energy trying to get the other person to change,
you search inside yourself and ask, 'what happened inside me that
led me to react that way to you?' Whenever we feel a painful
emotion (anger, resentment, jealousy, fear, depression, desire
for vengeance, grief) this simply means that someone has
activated one of our wounds and powerful opportunity for healing
is right in front of us.

The next time you find that your 'buttons' have been pushed where
will you focus your attention -- inward or outward?


5. You'll know that you are Deliberately Creating Peace when...

you find yourself put off by anti-war demonstrations and the
notion of judging and condemning the players in a dispute.
Deliberate Creators understand that we cannot be engaged in a
battle and be a source for peace at the same time.

Where are you investing your energy -- in a battle against war or
in a commitment to peace?


6. You'll know that you are Deliberately Creating Peace when...

you find yourself focusing on what you are wanting instead of
what you are not wanting. Deliberate Creators recognize that what
we focus on expands and they give careful thought as to what they
want to have expand in their lives.


7. You'll know that you are Deliberately Creating Peace when...

instead of praying for an outside force to bring peace to others,
you commit to being one who radiates peace from within.

Are you ready to become a source of Peace?
