DAY 24 Feb. 
22: The practice for 
today is HARMONY.  Choosing NOT to engage in any form of 
gossip today contributes to harmony.  
Choosing to see the good in others rather than finding fault leads to 
peaceful relationships.  
By making these choices, we are 
contributing to a culture of nonviolence; we are being a model of peace. 
 

We don't live in this world alone, 
and we need other people if we are to grow.  Can you practice patience with a 
deer?  Can you learn to forgive a 
redwood?   Of course not, but we can do these 
things with other people.  By doing 
so, by choosing to live in harmony with the people around me, will bring 
enormous inner growth. 
  
Today: 
 I will choose to see the good in others 
instead of finding fault.   I 
will spend the entire day without criticizing anything or anyone; if I am 
tempted to criticize, I will write down the criticism rather than speaking it, 
and then later discover where the criticism is coming from within 
me.  

~~~~~  

To 
create a peaceful world, we must learn to practice nonviolence with one another 
in our day-to-day interactions.
