Civility in Action© is an art. Its development and management is all about how you manage your inner being and how positively and powerfully are you able to reflect it on others. It is a mirror effect. It all starts within you. Described well by the Dalai Lama, he said “Remember the Universe is the echo of our actions and our thoughts”.
What is your function to revive civility? First, to understand that you, as a being, are interrelated to all other beings globally and that Mother Earth is part of your existence. Therefore, you, fellow beings and Mother Earth are all entwined; what affects one affects all others; it is a chain reaction. Second, you need to realize that your heart and mind are the only effective, handy tools to change and reverse negative circumstances and emotions, and they demand your:
- love of self and others
- intent to be civil to one another
- compassion
- belief that being civil is powerful
- total dedication to the art of civility
- intentional existence at all times; be in constant touch with your feelings
To be civil is to enjoy your friendship with life and fully understand that inner power comes from positive actions and deeds. An extra mile to achieve inner power will take you miles and miles ahead, and it is a great substitute for the power of using force.
Let us all put our joint efforts to act in a civil manner, spread civility and make a difference so that the world will become a better place.
