compnents of peace

	The Components of Peace While the concept of peace is simple, there are many pieces. Peace flows from each person through our relationship with others and our environment.
		Person Each of us must find peace with ourselves, our relationships, and our environment.
	Spirit Within each free person comes a need to discover their spiritual purpose.	Mind Only through our power of thought are we able to understand the principles of peace, balance, and our own existence.	Body Our bodies are our life vessels and we must find balance in maintaining our health to achieve inner peace.
Sacrifice As we come to understand the world we realize we must sacrifice, share and practice self control in order to achieve and sustain peace.	Balance With experience, we see the necessity of achieving balance in our behavior and relationships for healthful living.		Love Our greatest spiritual connection comes through our ability to feel emotional attachment to other people, animals, and our life's work.	Forgiveness The road to peace includes the realization that we all make mistakes and forgiveness is a key to achieving peaceful solutions.
	Communication The key to any successful relationship is open, honest communication. We cannot be aware of and understand other's needs nor they ours without it.	Relationships Whether with significant other, children or neighbor we must connect with others to truly feel fulfilled on our journey through life.	Modeling Achieving peace will take the commitment of all of us to teach our children and others the proper way ahead and value of balance in our lives.
	Awareness To be true citizens of the world we must seek information and maintain awareness of ourselves and our environment.		Understanding Beyond awareness of ourselves and our environment comes an understanding of the long term effect we have on our environment.
		Environment Beyond our individual relationships there is the community, nation, and environment which all depend upon the balance of these components.
