Plant Seeds of Positivity

The seeds planted in this moment are the flowers of our future. Be mindful of your thoughts and emotions. They are the seeds that blossom and bear fruit according to their nature. If we yearn for peace, we must cultivate it first in our own consciousness. 
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian from her book Living for the Sake of the Soul

In times of turmoil it is easy to be angry and fearful. When we plant negative seeds, we experience the fruit of those seeds. Our meditation practice trains our mind to turn toward the positive. The more we practice, the easier it is to see the good in the world. When we encounter the negative, it becomes almost automatic to turn our minds toward the positive. We can then act from that place of positivity. Our positive actions and our peaceful outlook can bring real positive change to a tumultuous world. Plant seeds of wonder, love and  compassion. Experience peace and a happy life for yourself and for others.
