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 by living in harmony with those around you right now will bring out 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, 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.
