Thank you Arthur Egendorf, writing in Healing from the War, this advice that’s pertinent to our efforts to rebalance our life and to live peacefully and joyously:

 

Only together will we create a culture that supersedes the cycles of battle and retreat – not through our fear of war but through mastering a superior way to live.

 

The seed of this culture is the determination within individuals, and then small groups and communities, to devote our lives to the greatest vision of all time: not to wait for a savior one day to deliver us; not to wait for a government to pass truly just laws; not to wait for a revolution to right the wrongs of a cruel world; and not to mount a crusade to overpower some distant source of evil beyond ourselves. Each of us singly and with all the others, is answerable for creating joy through the way our lives unfold, here and now. And once this purpose becomes primary, we can turn to the endless job of bringing well-being to others, justice and integrity to our government, and instituting constructive programs for change here and elsewhere. When inspired in this way, we don’t have to wait for the final outcome before we’re nourished. There is no finer way to live or die.

 

 

This is why the LinktoEXPERT collaborative community  was created so each of us can do what we love and love what we do which results in expansion and a peaceful joyous world.
