\u201cIf there is to be peace in the world,<\/span>
\nThere must be peace in the nations.<\/span>
\nIf there is to be peace in the nations,<\/span>
\nThere must be peace in the cities. <\/span>
\nIf there is to be peace in the cities,<\/span>
\nThere must be peace between neighbors.<\/span>
\nIf there is to be peace between neighbors,<\/span>
\nThere must be peace in the home.<\/span>
\nIf there is to be peace in the home,<\/span>
\nThere must be peace in the heart.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Watch your thoughts; they become words. <\/span>
\nWatch your words; they become actions. <\/span>
\nWatch your actions; they become habit. <\/span>
\nWatch your habits; they become character. <\/span>
\nWatch your character, it becomes your destiny.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.<\/span>
\n If you want to eliminate suffering in the world,<\/span>
\n then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.<\/span>
\n Truly, the greatest gift you have to give <\/span>is that of your own self-transformation.”<\/span><\/h3>\n

~Lao Tzu<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThese words contain great wisdom.<\/span>
\nThey must be planted in an open and fertile mind and consciousness for growth.<\/span>
\nIt is my hope that you reflect deeply on the simplicity and power of this wisdom.<\/span>
\nThen put these principles into action.<\/span>
\nGive yourself the best life and highest growth possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
