What inspires us to be our best selves is to see each other being our better selves.



Whether you are rich or poor, sick and healthy, bored or inspired, most of us are already doing significant acts to advance the cause of peace. What you do everyday may not seem heroic, and yet it is. Opportunities to strengthen humanity's peaceful side don't have to take a lot of effort.

Acting as part of the whole of humanity is something called active peace. Whenever you choose...
  • discerning in place of judgment
  • appreciation in place of criticism
  • generosity in place of self-interest
  • reconciliation in place of retaliation
you are involved in active peace. Such choices are noble, significant and life-affirming and contribute something incredibly powerful to the creation of cultures of peace. 

The true test of our devotion to freedom is just beginning
Nelson Mandela
