Every day parents, teachers, religious leaders, and countless others struggle to instill learning and new ideas that will make a difference in other people's lives. The words are spoken in hopes that something will resonate within the hearts and souls of the listener(s) and encourage a commitment to a set of higher principles.
Think about your life for a second. Have you ever been inspired by words of encouragement, a story you read in the paper, or even by watching a stranger do something righteous? Very likely, you have. In turn, you probably adopted similar behaviours and became an inspiration to others, even though you may not be aware of it.
Yes, there's pain-motivated change and the inevitable life-cycle changes, but none make us feel better than change through new information, positive incentives, and enthusiasm!
So how do we get people to change? Lead by example. Want more love? Give more love. Too much cruelty? Be ever so kind. Not enough happiness around you? Be the happiest person you know!
You must embody everything that you believe will heal the planet. The transformation begins within you.
Here's to random acts of benevolent love,
+Erika

Why I love Dr. Wayne Dyer
I was lost. Hopelessly traveling down a path that lead nowhere. And one day, I had enough. I wanted to find something to "fix" me and my internal turmoil. I dared to navigate to the self-help section of the bookstore and wanted to wear sunglasses and a wig so people wouldn't recognize me. See, being there meant admitting that something was wrong with my seemingly perfect life, which was exactly what I wanted the world to believe. It was a fat lie.
So there I was navigating through countless books, and then I saw one that caught my eye: The Power of Intention
. I browsed a few pages. It spoke to me so loudly, I had to go home with it. I read it like a hungry child being finally fed nourishing food. It was good for my soul. I was hooked! Dr. Dyer worked his magic on me, and I have been inspired to make positive changes ever since.
"Remind yourself that the greatest technique for bringing peace into your life is to always choose being kind when you have a choice between being right or being kind. This is the single most effective method I know for having a sense of peace. And you have that choice in all your interactions." - Dr. Dyer
Now I live to be kind. Yes, sometimes I feel like being right, but by being kind I know I am allowing myself to be the best I can be.
Share your kindness and internal peace,
+Erika
