Studies show time and time again that if a person's needs are met then the amount of wealth they posssess is irrelevant to their degree of happiness. hence, people with very little are among the happiest people in the world.
Peace, contentment, security, confidence and sense-of-purpose are all elements necessary for a life of happiness. All of them are unrelated to money directly. Money has a secondary influence on these things.
The pursuit of wealth and power is not healthy or necessary to your degree of happiness. Meeting your basic economic needs is easy and rewarding when your primary goal is to embrace life and make a difference in the lives of others.
P-E-A-C-E

E: Embrace times of silence and solitude in natural places.
A: Avoid the unhealthy pursuit of wealth and power.
C: Consider the interests of others as equal or more important than your own.
E: Encourage non-violence in all of life and every situation.

Pursue Peace
Think Peace!
Attitude matters. Attitude is the beginning of change. More and more people are thinking through the possibilities of peace and what peace should, or could look like. It is not an easy thing to patch together because we are so accustomed to anti-peace. But, peace is possible and it is coming...someday!
It is a true statement to say that "peace begins with me". A simple thought can give birth to a new reality and we know that peace is certainly on the minds of a growing number of people.
